Nanchang cold lotus root
I haven't been to Food Network for a long time. Looking at the previous diary, it was written in 2009. I'm really ashamed. I'm a little deep in the water, and now I want to come up and take a bubble.
In the blink of an eye, it's my favorite season again. Although the weather is very comfortable, it's easy to get angry, so during this season, we should eat more foods that nourish the lungs, such as lotus roots.
This time I want to introduce a snack that is bigger than a snack. Although there are still cold lotus root slices sold on the streets of Nanchang, the flavor of childhood can no longer be found back. This cold dish has always been my signature dish. A few days ago, I met a colleague from a few years ago online. He was still reminiscing about the cold lotus root slices I made and asked me to cook it. I laughed at him for a long time. He is really a typical foodie.
This snack is actually very simple. The difficulty is to grasp the proportion of each seasoning. It must not be too salty or too sweet. It must be spicy enough, otherwise it will not taste that way.
