Stir-Fried Lotus Root with Ginger

The Nutritional Benefits of Combining Lotus and Ginger

Lotus root contains many different nutrients. Frequently eating lotus root can fortify the spleen, increase appetite, boost the blood, and supplement the heart. When paired with ginger, which supplements the spleen and stomach, it forms a dish that is crunchy, spotlessly white, and rich in flavor that can supplement and boost the internal organs, whet the appetite, aid digestion, quench thirst, promote salivation, and warm the stomach.

Dealing with Sticky Lotus Root

Lotus root is high in starch and sugar, which means it can stick to the pan easily. To avoid this, be sure to fry it just quickly enough to bring out its flavor.
