Fried Beef Lotus Root
By EliHerzog
Before I got married, one of my favorite dishes cooked by my mother was fried lotus root. Now that I have a family, I have to learn to do it myself. So today, I became addicted, so I made it myself. Lotus root is a must-have delicacy for Jinan people during the New Year. Everyone will prepare it and enjoy it more, including fried fish, fried meatballs, and fried noodles. These are the most beautiful memories of my childhood.

Steps for Fried Beef Lotus Root

1
The first step is to prepare the ingredients. One piece of lotus root. Be careful to apply the knife obliquely so that the stuffing will not fall out after filling it. It is also easier to wrap the batter. Dice the beef, chop the green onion and ginger into pieces and set aside.
2
Use a meat grinder to grind the beef and onions and ginger, place them in a small basin, add the seasoning, and mix well in one direction. Don't stir indiscriminately, as a lot of soup will seep out and the filling will be bad.
3
This is the prepared ground beef stuffing. It smells so fragrant. If you don't think it's fragrant enough, you can add appropriate amount of sesame oil.
4
Prepare the batter, put in a small bowl of noodles, put in a small spoonful of baking soda, pour a little bit of water, mix while pouring, until the concentration is ok, and finally add a little sweet sauce. This is my mother's secret recipe. The color of the lotus root is more beautiful.
5
Fill the lotus root with slow beef fillings and add slowly to prevent the lotus root from breaking.
6
The oil temperature for frying should be about 170 degrees. Use your hand to feel the oil above. The latter uses chopsticks to put it into the oil. The bubbling is time to put the lotus roots and turn them over in time. Because my husband calls to disturb me on the way, some lotus roots are fried and a little dark, but the taste is beyond telling. Here we go.
