ingredients
- 1⁄2 , a whole lotus root sliced very thinly
- 1 piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped (about 1 inch long)
- 2 garlic, cloved peeled and chopped
- 1 1⁄2 cups of roughly chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons hot red chili peppers, finely chopped
- oil
- vinegar for the lotus root water
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- pepper
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
directions
- Put the sliced lotus root into vinegar water as you slice it, as described above. Drain well just before cooking.
- Heat up a large frying pan with the oil. Add ginger and garlic, and stir fry until the oil is very fragrant.
- Add the drained lotus root slices in a single layer. Cook until the lotus root slices start to change color - they turn a bit translucent looking. Turn over and cook a couple more minutes.
- Add the chili pepper and green onions, and stir-fry. Add the sesame seeds, pepper, soy sauce and sesame oil.
- The lotus roots should get a bit caramelized from the soy sauce. Serve hot or cold. This is very nice for bento.

I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
