Braised Lotus Root with Cai Fish
Hubei is a famous land of fish and rice. At this time, a large number of fish and lotus roots are listed. Today, I recommend a delicious food in Wuhan--stewed lotus root fish, also known as black fish. Unlike other fish, it is rich in nutrients and most suitable for warming in autumn and winter.

    Add enough water at the start, and season after cooking. Choose plump lotus roots; they contain plenty of water, and when stewed, they become both starchy and white.
