Crispy lotus root dumplings
When I returned to China this time, I drank lotus root soup three or four times. It was powdered lotus root and I enjoyed it. But I didn't eat the lotus root.

I bought three-section lotus root from a China store two days ago. It's crispy. One section was used to cook pork ribs, and the other section was stir-fried with sour and spicy lotus root. This section was left to make lotus root dumplings. It's just that the quantity in one section is too small, so I can only make these five small ones. It's okay to give T a taste, but there are not enough plugs/(o)/~

Lotus root dumplings in Hubei are famous traditional snacks. Without adding any other ingredients, use 100% lotus root to make round seeds, fry them in the pan until golden brown, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Dip it with chili sauce and eat it will be enjoyable. Share it with everyone.

    Use gauze to squeeze out the water from the lotus root. On the left is the shredded lotus root after being squeezed with water, and on the right is the squeezed juice. Pay attention to the shape of the lotus root powder in the left bowl. It's very strong. Only the lotus root powder in this form can it not disperse when fried for a while. So we don't need flour, starch, glutinous rice flour or the like. 100% lotus roots.

    Stir well the salt, pepper and monosodium glutamate in the lotus root (I use vegetable monosodium glutamate, so the little red dots you can see in some pictures are carrots).

    Squeeze it into a solid ball with your hands. Be sure to squeeze it tightly so it won't fall apart. You can knead a small round ball first, and then knead the lotus root bit by bit. My quantity is too small, I can only make this small. Otherwise, ordinary lotus roots would be bigger than table tennis balls.

    It is recommended to pinch all the lotus roots first and then fry them together. Because pinching takes some time, it's not easy to get confused.
