Ingredients (4 servings)

1
Slice lotus root to 0.5 cm and soak in vinegar water for 5 minutes to prevent browning.
2
Blanch lotus root in boiling water for 3 minutes, then rinse in cold water.
3
In a pot, bring soy sauce, water, sugar, and cooking wine to a boil.
4
Add lotus root and simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes.
5
Add syrup and braise 5 more minutes for gloss.
6
Turn off heat and toss with sesame oil and sesame seeds.

Skipping blanching can leave an astringent lotus root taste.

Cool completely before refrigerating for better flavor absorption.
