Steamed pork with lotus root and water chestnut
Lotus roots and horseshoe are rich in nutrients (the specific nutritional value will be found if you search the Internet), and after steaming, the aroma of lotus roots and meat blends with the fresh sweetness of horseshoe. It tastes very good. This dish is suitable for all ages. My husband and baby love it. (Because of this dish, baby had the best last night in a while)

Steps for Steamed pork with lotus root and water chestnut
1
After the pork is bought, it is beaten into meat paste at the market (you can chop it yourself at home, but it takes a lot of time. I usually process it outside).
2
These are lotus roots and horseshoes. I took them home and chopped them myself to take photos today. However, in the past, I would crush them together with the pork outside.
3
Add salt, soy sauce, wine, and sugar to the chopped water chestnut, lotus root and mashed meat, stir well, marinate for half an hour, then steam in the pan. After boiling over high heat, turn to medium heat and steam for 20 minutes.

If you can't find water chestnuts, you can leave them out, but adding them enhances the flavor with a fresh sweetness. This dish melts in your mouth; it is very suitable for the elderly and children, and is packed with nutrients. Give it a try—you definitely won't be disappointed. Also, the coarseness of the water chestnuts and lotus root can be adjusted to your taste. If you prefer a crunchy texture, chop them coarsely; if you like a soft, sticky texture, chop them very finely.
