Introduction:

"Sweet scented osmanthus and glutinous rice lotus root is oily and sweet, soft and glutinous and crisp, with rich aroma of sweet scented osmanthus. In my opinion, it is the most delicious way to eat lotus root. In Jiangnan, it is one of the most humane street snacks, but rarely seen in the north.

Step 5: cover the cut lotus root and fix it with toothpick;

Step 6: put it into a pressure cooker, add a proper amount of water (not over lotus root) and rock sugar, cover the pan, cook over high heat until SAIC, reduce the heat and press for 30 minutes, turn off the heat;

Note: 1, there are two kinds of lotus root, one is called pink lotus root, the other is called crisp lotus root, do glutinous rice lotus root to use pink lotus root. Choose straight, thick and smooth lotus root melon, lotus root straight, big hole is easy to seminal; when buying, pay attention to pick the complete lotus root node, do not buy the broken lotus root node, if the hole into the sand, it is very difficult to clean; 2, out of the pot can eat hot, refrigerated overnight is for a better taste, and the taste after refrigeration is better. 3. Using pressure cooker can save time and energy. You can also use casserole or other stainless steel pots. Just add more water and stew patiently until the lotus root is soft.
