STEP 1/7
Slice the lotus root as thin as possible using a chopping knife.
I cut it into 2mm thick pieces.
STEP 2/7
Add vinegar to boiling water and cook the lotus root for about a minute, then rinse it in cold water.
STEP 3/7
Cooked soybean sauce (4 tablespoons of boiled soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, anchovies).Make 2 cups of kelp stock) and boil it with the washed lotus root.
STEP 4/7
When the stew starts to boil, lower the heat to low and boil the lotus root.
I think I boiled it for about 30 minutes.
STEP 5/7
When 1/3 of the sauce is left, add 5 tablespoons of starch syrup, cover it, and boil it over low heat until the soup boils down again.
Of course, if you don't look at it too much, there will be dehydration, and the top won't get sticky, so turn it upside down in the middle.
STEP 6/7
The bottom of the cooking plant is sticky like taffy because it has boiled down enough.
You can add sesame seeds to wrap it up
I just finished it without sesame seeds.
STEP 7/7
It's braised lotus roots.
It's not completely transparent, but I can tell you that it's similar to the lotus root braised at a Korean restaurant.
The most important way to cook lotus root tightly is 1. Cook for a long time 2. Cut it as thin as possible
