Stewed chicken with lotus root is a meat dish suitable for summer consumption. Lotus root absorbs the oil from the chicken. The chicken will not be greasy. The lotus root is more delicious, with a strong meaty aroma and a very soft and waxy taste. It is a meat dish that is very suitable for entertaining relatives and friends in summer. I chose chicken thighs. The meat quality of chicken thighs is relatively tender and has more meat and less bones. It tastes super delicious.
Lotus root has quite high medicinal value. Its roots, leaves, flowers, whiskers and fruits are all treasures and can be used as nourishing medicine. Powder made from lotus root can help digestion and diarrhea, appetizing appetite and clearing heat, nourish nature, and prevent internal bleeding. It is a good liquid food and tonic for women, children, elderly women, and frail and sick people.
