Nanchang lotus root in cold sauce
(746829 views)On the new year's Eve, uncle monkey made another sweet lotus root with rose and glutinous rice at the request of his mother. When I bought lotus root, I saw two sections of good goods. I was greedy and bought them for a while. But I only used one of them. So the rest section became the Nanchang cold lotus root today. Actually, uncle monkey hasn't been to Nanchang. I don't know that there is such a dish in Nanchang. I just wanted to eat sweet and sour lotus root all the time. I want to make a different cold lotus root slice today. It also goes with beer. But when Uncle monkey shared photos in wechat friends' chat group, a friend from Nanchang exclaimed - this is not when I was a child. Would there always be cool lotus root put out by aunts at the school gate as snacks? It's rarely seen now. In that case, let's call him Nanchang cold lotus root.

Step2:Drain the water in the pot. Immerse the lotus root in it. Boil it in high heat. Turn to medium heat. Cook for 10-15 minutes.
Step3:At the same time, mix old soy sauce, raw soy sauce, sugar, oyster sauce, spicy oil and pure water to make a cold sauce. Cut the cilantro.
Step4:When the lotus root in the pot is boiled to 15 minutes, turn off the heat and take it out. Rinse it with cold water for 3-5 minutes.
Step5:Immerse the slightly cooled lotus root in cool white water for 10 minutes, so that it can cool completely.

Cooking tips:1. The authentic cold lotus root in Nanchang is very spicy. So uncle monkey suggests that you can increase or decrease the amount of oil spilled with spicy according to your acceptance of spicy. Oil sprinkled hot pepper can be made by Baidu or go to the supermarket to buy ready-made. 2. Friends who like to eat sour can add some vinegar. If you want to have a richer taste, you can add peanuts with oil. In a word, although it is Nanchang cold lotus root, we can add ingredients and seasonings according to our own preferences. In addition, there is no need to add salt unless the water is added too much, because the seasoned soy sauce, raw soy sauce, oyster sauce and spicy oil all contain salt. 3. Uncle monkey's lotus root is thick, so it takes a long time to cook. If the lotus root is thin or tender, the cooking time should be shortened. When the lotus body just changed color and can be penetrated with chopsticks, it means that the pot can be fished out. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
