Directions
Fresh Lotus Root Salad, Lotus roots can be found in Oriental markets They look like vegetable sausages, a few inches long and about three inches in diameter The flavor is somewhat reminiscent of a water chestnut as is the texture very fresh and crisp tasting! When sliced they have an intriguing, lacy cross section that comes from air channels in the root Lotus roots make a nice addition to soups too!, Pretty good, but I don’t think it’s quite my taste This was my first time tasting Lotus Root, so I didn’t quite know what to expect The root itself has a strong flavor, which overpowered the soy sauce mixture I think I might like it stir-fried better I added shredded carrot and a little fresh ginger and used pre-sliced lotus root instead of fresh
