How to make Nanchang cold lotus root

As someone who has been spoiled since childhood, you definitely can’t cook by yourself. When you grow up and go out, you also want to cook a dish by yourself. Although there are so many recipes, the steps and methods are so short that you can’t make them well no matter how hard you try. Don’t give up, because today I will introduce to you the method of making Nanchang cold lotus root.

1.1 Remove from the water, cool slightly and cut into thin slices. ——Boil the lotus root first and then slice it. This will preserve the stickiness of the lotus root and make it taste better. Therefore, even if some of the lotus root slices stick together when cutting and mixing later, don't think about rinsing them in cold water. Be patient and you will be able to mix them evenly in the end.

2.2 Peel and clean the lotus root, then cut it in half. Put it into a pot of cold water, cover it and cook for about 15 minutes. ——If the lotus root is tender and the skin is intact, just scrub it clean without peeling it. Like braised lotus root, keeping the skin makes it taste richer

3.1 Add 2 teaspoons of soy sauce. Mix well

4.2 Add 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar

5. Add 2 teaspoons of chili oil and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Mix well. ——Chili oil is chili oil with crushed peanuts, chili powder and various spices. You can also use hot pepper sauce. Add according to your spiciness

6. Sprinkle in chopped garlic. ——When making cold dishes, I always add some garlic. Sterilizes and tastes good too. If you mind the smell of garlic, don't bother

7. Finally, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sugar

8. Mix well. ——The bowl for lotus root slices should be larger so that they can be easily spread out when mixed. Later I thought, you can also put it directly in a fresh-keeping bag or fresh-keeping box, add the seasoning, tie the mouth or cover the lid, and shake it a few times to mix it evenly.

Maybe you have eaten Nanchang cold lotus root before, but you never knew it was made like this. And since you are well aware of the real practices, what reason do you have to do it yourself? In this way, you will experience the true sweetness.
