Sauteed Lotus Root

1. 1

   Slice lotus root as thinly as you possibly can, and as you do that, toss each slice into a bowl of vinegar water to prevent the lotus roots from oxidizing.

2. 2

   Heat vegetable oil in a skillet.

3. 3

   When pan is hot, throw in ginger and garlic and move them around for about 2030 seconds until aromatic but before they burn.

4. 4

   Add spring onions and lotus root, turning the heat down to medium as you do.

5. 5

   At this time, there will be very little oil in the pan, so add the sesame oil.

6. 6

   Continue to saute all the ingredients in the pan for about 1 minute before adding the soy sauce and sugar.

7. 7

   Toss everything together to evenly coat the ingredients with the soy sauce.

8. 8

   When the lotus root slices have taken on a beautiful golden caramelized hue, turn the heat off and serve!
