Ingredients

1 stick Lotus Root
1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
1 piece Ginger, Peeled And Thinly Sliced
3 cloves Garlic, Minced
3 bunches Spring Onions, Only The White Parts, Sliced On The Bias
1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon Sugar

Directions

1

Slice lotus root as thinly as you possibly can, and as you do that, toss each slice into a bowl of vinegar water to prevent the lotus roots from oxidizing.
2

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet.
3

When pan is hot, throw in ginger and garlic and move them around for about 2030 seconds until aromatic but before they burn.
4

Add spring onions and lotus root, turning the heat down to medium as you do.
5

At this time, there will be very little oil in the pan, so add the sesame oil.
6

Continue to saute all the ingredients in the pan for about 1 minute before adding the soy sauce and sugar.
7

Toss everything together to evenly coat the ingredients with the soy sauce.
8

When the lotus root slices have taken on a beautiful golden caramelized hue, turn the heat off and serve!
