I’ve been trying to find other way to cook Lotus root/Renkon on top of making them as chips, stir fry or soup and I found this yummy and interesting recipe from Nami from Justonecookbook.
The dish were simple and easy to make and yet yummy.
Below is the result of my version, the only difference from Nami original recipe was on the meat, running low on ground pork so I mix them with some ground beef.
The fried lotus root without sauce
And this is the final result with the sauce… Yum…

Id love to try lotus root, it looks so pretty 🙂
Yes, you should try it, I love lotus root, the ingredients itself is lovely and yummy for anything. Cheers 🙂
I’ll have to forage to find some 🙂 I’ve Benin tempted to cut rings of potato to look like lotus root haha
Hahaha Sound much better idea than digging lotus root upon spotting any lotus in any pond/park in UK 🙂
Hah yeah. I don’t think anything grows in UK parks haha not clean enough haha
🙂
Beautiful. What a pity I can’t find lotus root around here.
Thanks, any luck with the Asian grocery store/mart in town? Hopefully you can stumble upon one, someday 🙂 Cheers
So cute
Thank you, glad to find that you like it 🙂
Thank you so much for trying this recipe! Your fried lotus root look so pretty! I’m glad you enjoyed this recipe. Thank you for linking back to my site. 🙂
You are welcome, I did enjoy cooking your recipe 🙂
Wow! In China, there’s a dish where they stuff the lotus root with mochi rice and steam/simmer it in simple syrup. More like a dessert or appetizer. Just a suggestion. Eat well.
yes, lotus root is very flexible ingredients , thanks for the idea, will consider it for future cooking 🙂
Love lotus root in desserts! Sweet but not that unhealthy. But to tell you the truth, I just realized I have no idea what the root actually looks like uncut! So even if it’s sold here I might not recognize it….googletime!
Hahaha… probably you might have seen it without realizing 🙂 Good luck with google , hope you will have the chance to try them.
The only lotus root i ever find or tried was the chips, it was in one among mix of vegetables chips sold in a jar, it was crispy and delicious. Would love to try the fresh one.
I hope you will able to try the fresh lotus one day 🙂
