  • 1 pound fresh lotus root
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons sesame-seed oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt

    • How To Cook:
    1. Wash the fresh lotus root under cold running water and, with a sharp knife, peel off the skin. Trim off and discard both ends of the root.

    2. With a cleaver or sharp knife, cut the lotus root into 1/8-inch-thick slices, dropping the slices as you proceed into a saucepan of cold water to prevent them from discoloring.

    3. Drain off the cold water and pour 3 to 4 cups of boiling water over the lotus root slices to cover them completely. Let them soak for 5 minutes.

    4. Drain the slices again, rinse them thoroughly under cold running water and then pat the slices completely dry with paper towels.

    5. In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, sesame-seed oil and salt, and stir them together until the sugar and salt are dissolved.

    6. Arrange the slices of lotus root, overlapping them in concentric circles on a serving plate. Pour the soy sauce-vinegar dressing evenly over the slices. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
