Step1:Clean the lotus root, peel off the skin, remove both ends, slice it with a knife and soak it in water to remove the starch.
Step2:Boil the hot water in the pot. Put the water into lotus root slices and blanch them. It will not take too long. The water will boil again. Take out the water too cold and drain the water.
Step3:Cut the dried peppers into small pieces with scissors. Slice the ginger into thin pieces. Three or four pieces are OK. Slice the garlic and onion for standby.

Cooking tips:1. The lotus root is divided into seven hole lotus root and nine hole lotus root. The seven hole lotus root tastes soft and waxy. It is more suitable for soup making. The nine hole lotus root has higher water content and crisper taste. It is more suitable for stir fry, cold mix, etc. Today's dry pot lotus root slices taste crisp, so we should choose nine hole lotus root. If you really can't choose, you can ask the vegetable vendor when you buy it. 2. Lotus root soaked in water can not only prevent oxidation and blackening, but also soak out the starch in lotus root, making the cooked dishes crisper. 3. Blanch the water before frying. You can also remove some starch. At the same time, use lotus root slices to heat more evenly. Reduce cooking time. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
