Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding vinegar and sea salt when blanching lotus root removes its sharpness and helps maintain its crisp texture.
  • Do not rinse blanched lotus root with cold water, as this will wash away its natural flavor.
  • Shrimp should be lightly chopped—not fully mashed—to preserve a satisfying chewy texture.
  • Avoid overusing flour or water in the batter, as this can make the chives soggy; rely only on eggs and a small amount of tempura flour to bind the mixture.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to serve a unique and elegant pancake dish during Chuseok or other holidays.
  • Parents wanting to feed nutritious and tasty meals to children who dislike lotus root.
  • Anyone seeking a flavorful side dish with a vibrant mix of crunch and chewiness.
