Rinse in cold water and drain well. That way, the sauce doesn't get watery.

The lotus root of "Pearl in the Earth" is also called Yeonwoo. Because of their relationship with Buddhism, they are often cultivated in temples and sometimes on ponds or rice paddies on purposely.Lotus root contains carbs, asparagine, arginine, etc., and is rich in vitamin C, so it is good for relieving fatigue and preventing colds. Lotus root browns easily because it touches the air, but the color becomes white if you add a little vinegar when boiling. Good lotus roots are light yellow without scratches on the lotus root skin and have complete joints, and short, thick, and straight joints. When storing lotus roots, wrap them in newspapers with dirt and store them in the refrigerator.
