Tai it was underwhelming… but I eat alone and I need to use it. How do you eat lotus root in Vietnam?

It’s the texture I enjoy. Zero flavor but high in vitamin C. I think it’s a highly enjoyable vegetable for those trying to lose weight. Not useful for hardcore bicyclists 🚴♀️

Tai, promise me you eat something hearty today, ok? You worked hard this past weekend.

Wait til Friday. You need to carb up before your bike ride. I don’t know, but I used to cook lots of pasta meals for my son the day before his cross country race.

Hi ajf, I want to see your home cooking too! It doesn’t have to be fancy… when I post my meals, it makes me feel like I’m eating with friends and it’s fun! There is a dude who posts a turkey stick or old Easter chocolate, very random, but we love his posts😂😂

Bitter melon! Always reminds me of home. Never managed to find it in the UK so far. Lotus root - now that is a blast from the past. I last had lotus seeds and root aged 5.

Suma, this is the first time I bought lotus roots here in US. Qualify no good. Didn’t have the particular harmony of crispness and slime I was looking for.

ACB that’s the popular way to eat lotus root in Japan too, but I used ponzu today instead of mirin.

Liz I wish I could serve you fresh lotus root😭 It’s crispy and a tad slimy at the same time. Exquisite.

SBeach, thank you for the compliment, but I’m not a good cook at all… pictures can be very, very deceiving😂

ACB, lotus root tempura is good, but you must keep a little of the slime. That’s what makes it exquisite✨💫

I like the slime factor, like in okra. When I cook for others, I reduce the slime factor. Step son-in-law doesn't eat like the rest of the family. Strictly, meat, rice & starches. Not really a veggie person. So for holidays I try to make healthy food more appealing.
During family gatherings, we make sure to have traditional dishes & Americanized versions of chinese food.
