Yoon Yi-ryeon's Chewy Braised Lotus Root

Lotus root briefly cooked in a pressure cooker, then simmered thoroughly with corn syrup to achieve a chewy texture and glossy finish.

Ingredients needed 6 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Slicing the lotus root too thin or applying pressure for too long may cause it to break apart.
  • If the texture isn't chewy enough or the glaze is lacking, add more corn syrup and simmer longer.
  • The next day, re-coat with a mixture of corn syrup and sesame oil for an even glossier finish, perfect for serving guests.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make chewy, not hard, braised lotus root.
  • Those who want to add a glossy side dish to their holiday table.
