its time we see lotus roots selling again! these are quite expensive, but i luv eating them, in whatever form - as big chucks in soups, big slices in braised dishes, and as thin crispy chips in salads! sis donated one root to me the other day - woohoo!!! and i used it to make lotus root and pork mince sandwiches =)

sizzling in the pan:


the dish - love the lotus root shape!!

-Pan fried lotus root and pork mince sandwiches-

everything needs to be THIN!! the lotus root needs to be sliced thinly and the layer of pork mince needs to be thin too or it wont cook through!! i mixed some thinly *again* chopped shallots into the pork mince to give it some green colour!!

half way through pan frying, i was thinking... these sandwiches should taste good in hotpot too!! i wonder if they will fall apart tho. hm...will try that next time!!

also, wiki says that lotus roots are rich in dietary fiber, vitamin C, potassium, thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B6, phosphorus, copper, and manganese, while very low in saturated fat!! more reasons to eat them!! :)
