RE: Lotus Roots (aka Lily Roots) Hi Wee

[Guest guest]

Hi Wee,

The first time I saw TIA my thought was they were signing it Aunt (Tia in

Spanish)

If you use canned lotus root then it's already soft enough to chew? I have

only used fresh. If it's soft enough to eat just slice it in 1/2-inch or

1/3-inch slices and set aside, now using a skillet make a nice thick caramelized

syrup with some sauted minced garlic and finely chopped onions in butter, ghee,

margarine or olive oil as they cook add some red pepper flakes, soy sauce and

teriyaki sauce, little brown sugar. Get this sauce nice and thick. Add the

lotus slices and cook on both sides making sure the syrup soaks in and coats

them well and they turn dark. I have no exact measurements for this.

If the canned lotus roots are not soft enough to chew then boil until a little

more tender.

When I serve these they are grabbed immediately, they are beautiful! I think

the louts root has a gorgeous deisgn.

I like to sprinkle toasted black sesame seeds over the top when I serve them.

Hope this helped you. Let me know how you like them.

Donna
