Re: Lotus Root
If dried, soak.
then you can cook it in various ways. If it is sliced and dried then just add to vegetable dishes. Of it is the longer woodier one from asian stores, then I pressure cook it and then slice and add to dishes such as carrot, beetroot, onion and lotus root with mirin and rice vinegar or ume vinagar. it goes with many veggies - like broccoli, it is nice with sea veggies like arame and hijiki, nice it miso or other soups. and one of my favourite ways is to simmer it with shoyu and mirin. you can even deep fry it. In asia the lotus root is traditional served in wedding feats as the stringy texture of the fresh root is a symbol that no matter how far the couple is apart in distance, they will always be connected. check out the recipes and pictures in my cookbook and become a lotus root fan!
