Stir-fry and soup texture with visual appeal.
What it is
Sliced crosswise, lotus root reveals lace-like holes that hold sauce beautifully. It stays crunchy even after simmering, making it a favorite for both hot-and-sour stir-fries and pork rib soups. Peel and soak in vinegar water to prevent browning.
