STEP 1/10
For how to choose lotus roots, buy one with blocked ends. That's how it doesn't get windy. If it's cut in the middle, it's more likely to have wind in it.. The skin off the market is.. Well, I don't think I can be free from distrust in drug handling. Lotus root is a food that browns easily...
STEP 2/10
I peeled the lotus root with potato filler.
STEP 3/10
I cut it into 0.5cm thick pieces. I'm going to cook it for a long time and make it chewy.. I cut it slightly thick.
STEP 4/10
They prepared nuts for me at home. I put a lot of walnuts, almonds, and pumpkin seeds.
STEP 5/10
I put enough water to soak the lotus root and blanch it with 2 tablespoons of vinegar. It is said that soaking in vinegar prevents browning of lotus roots and removes the taste of Arin. When you say blanch, don't take it out after a few seconds like blanching... I boiled it for about 10 to 15 minutes.
STEP 6/10
I washed it 2-3 times so that it doesn't smell like vinegar.
STEP 7/10
I put lotus root, starch syrup, and water first and cooked it for about 30 minutes.
STEP 8/10
I put the dried red pepper and soy sauce in here and when it starts to boil, I boiled it down to low heat and boiled it down.
STEP 9/10
Blanch the walnuts in boiling water and stir-fry the almonds in a dry pan, and the astringent taste of the walnuts disappears..
Almonds become much more savory.
STEP 10/10
When there's a bit of soy sauce left... Add the nuts and cook.
After tasting it... Add more starch syrup or soy sauce.
It is not difficult to cook side dishes with soy sauce, starch syrup, or sugar, such as steamed lotus roots or soy sauce.. If you don't keep an eye on it, you may get burned, so you should stir it occasionally while doing other things in the kitchen. This is hard... ^^
