Chinese Lotus Root Stir Fry (1-CLICK RECIPE)
While not typically served in restaurants and takeaways, lotus root stir fry is a common recipe to enjoy at home among Chinese families and is particularly popular for vegetarian diets. Lotus root has a dense and crunchy texture, making it perfect for stir fry recipes; while its mild, sweet and nutty taste compliments the range of herbs, spices and flavourings used in Chinese cooking very well.
However, taste isn’t the only reason lotus root stir fry is a widely eaten meal across China. There are many benefits to eating lotus root; for example, it is high in dietary fibre and so great for digestion and is also rich in carbohydrates to provide a good source of energy.
Our lotus root stir fry recipe combines the crunchiness of the lotus root with the softer textures of shiitake mushrooms and green bell pepper for a delicious savoury and ever so slightly spicy lotus root stir fry meal.

- 1 Lotus Root
- 50g Shiitake Mushrooms

- ½ Tsp Salt
- 1 Tsp Vinegar
