STEP 1/12
It's one lotus root that's about 200g.
STEP 2/12
Peel the skin with fillers.
STEP 3/12
Cut the lotus root into 0.5cm thick pieces, pour enough water to cover the lotus root and add 1 spoonful of vinegar. Soak for 10 minutes (to prevent browning and remove the astringent taste)
STEP 4/12
Pour water into a pot and bring to a boil with a little salt.
STEP 5/12
When the water boils, add lotus root and simmer for 5 minutes.
STEP 6/12
Wash boiled lotus roots in running water.
STEP 7/12
Boil 3 tablespoons of brewed soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 400ml of water in a pot.
STEP 8/12
When the sauce boils up, add lotus root. Adjust the amount of water to the extent that the lotus root is submerged. Simmer on medium and low for about 20 to 30 minutes. I have about 2 spoons of soy sauce left. If you think you need more seasoning, add 1 or 2 spoons of soy sauce. I made it boring to eat with the baby.
STEP 9/12
The sauce is almost all gone.
STEP 10/12
Add a spoonful of oligosaccharide. Just a little bit more tight so that it's glossy.
STEP 11/12
Lastly, turn off the heat, add a little cooking oil (about 1/2 spoon) and sprinkle sesame seeds gently to complete.
STEP 12/12
Seasoned lotus root stew completed. I cut it a little and gave it to the baby, and he ate it so well. Let's make it a side dish that has a good crunchy taste. Braised lotus roots are so good. Make sure to try it. But it takes about 30 to 40 minutes, so don't do it like me.. I think it's better to make a lot when you make it. I ate it so quickly. (Sighsigh
