Renkon Butter

1. 1

   Over medium-high temperature, heat a saute pan.

2. 2

   Add the butter and peanut oil, melt together, and simmer until the butter is almost browned (how long that takes depends on your pan and your stove, but approx 2 to 3 minutes).

3. 3

   Add the lotus root slices and saute until edges are browned on each side (depending on pan and stove, about 3-4 minutes per side).

4. 4

   Add the soy sauce, stir, turn slices over, remove the pan from heat, and let sit for about 15 to 20 seconds (you don't want to let them cool for too long - you want them steaming).

5. 5

   Move the lotus root to a shallow serving bowl and cover with the bonito flakes.

6. 6

   Serve immediately.
