Dry-fried lotus root is a very simple home-cooked dish that can be finished in a few minutes. It's spicy and crispy, super appetizing. Moms, you'll know after trying it~



Specific production steps…
First step: Prepare ingredients. Two lotus roots, garlic to taste, dried chili to taste, peppercorns to taste.

Second step: Peel the lotus root and cut it into slices. Then soak it in water, as shown in the picture.
Third step: Cut the dried chili into segments, slice the garlic, and prepare.

Fourth step: Pour a certain amount of water into the pot and bring it to a boil. Then put the lotus root slices into the pot and blanch for 1 minute, then remove and set aside.

Fifth step: Pour a little oil into the pot, heat the oil and stir-fry the peppercorns and dried chili segments until fragrant, then add 1 spoon of Sichuan preserved bean paste and stir-fry until it turns red.

Seventh step: Put the lotus root slices into the pot and stir-fry evenly.
Eighth step: Add 2 spoons of soy sauce, half a spoon of salt, 1 spoon of white sugar, a little chicken powder to adjust the seasoning, stir-fry evenly, then drizzle a little sesame oil and turn off the heat. Finally, sprinkle some roasted white sesame seeds and mix well. (Soy sauce and Sichuan preserved bean paste both have salt, so when adding salt, you must pay attention.)

Ninth step: Serve, sprinkle with chopped green onion and you can start eating.

Say a few more words…
1. Putting the cut lotus root slices in water can prevent lotus root from oxidizing and changing color. Also, when stir-frying, try not to use an iron pot, which can also avoid the lotus root from turning dark.
2. You can add some pork belly slices or bacon slices to this dish for a variety of flavors.
3. Roasted white sesame seeds bring out the aroma, it's not recommended to omit them.
