Lotus Root: Delicious!


Ok, so it would have been nice if I had saved some of the cooked ones so I could take a picture, but they were quite tasty!

I wasn't sure I even wanted to eat these things when I first saw them, but after being introduced to them in my cooking class, they have become quite a favorite. When fried, they have somewhat the texture of a fried potato, but not quite. They have a sort of sweet flavor to them, but not like a sweet potato at all. Delicious! Pretty, too.

Edit: Here is a picture of some we fried in the cooking class, but these are done more like potato chip texture. These tonight had more of a texture of fried potatoes rather than chip style, and you could still see their shape a bit better.
