Okjubu's Braised Lotus Root

Lotus root soaked in vinegar water to remove bitterness, then gently simmered over medium heat until glossy in a sweet and savory braise.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If you rush the braising over high heat, the sauce color won't penetrate the lotus root nicely and it will look pale and unappetizing. Be sure to simmer gently over medium heat or lower, allowing enough time for a rich brown color to develop.
  • Soaking in vinegar water is a key step that prevents the lotus root from oxidizing and turning brown, while completely removing its astringent taste.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a crunchy yet chewy, sweet and salty side dish perfect for kids' lunchboxes or as a basic side dish.
  • Those who want to make a fail-proof, glossy, high-quality deli-style braised lotus root.
