Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 5.3 oz lotus root
- 1 green onion / scallion
- 3.5 oz ground chicken (or ground pork or ground beef)
- pinch of salt
- 1 Tbsp sake (for the ground meat)
Seasonings:
- 1 Tbsp sake
- 1 tsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp soy sauce
Instructions
- Peel the lotus root and slice it into pieces about ⅕ inch (5 mm) thick. Soak the slices in a bowl of water for 5 minutes to remove any astringency, then drain well. Thinly slice the green onion.
- Add ground chicken to the pan, sprinkle with salt, and sauté over medium heat. Once it changes color, add sake to help reduce any unpleasant odor from the meat.
- Add the lotus root to the pan and stir-fry. When the lotus root is cooked through, add the seasonings (sake, oyster sauce, and soy sauce) and stir until the flavors are well combined.
- Serve on a plate and sprinkle with the green onions.
Notes
- You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
