Tempura Stuffed Lotus Root 炸莲藕盒

I always feel bad when i need to throw away lotus roots after we enjoyed the lotus root soup, as kids didn't like it. So I like this idea of using it to deep fry, we have to eat them all.





They are crunchy after deep fried, yummy!

  4. Lily, yes you can replace with corn flour but not tapioca flour, or maybe rice flour should be work ok.

  5. I prefer to enjoy the lotus root in this way more than in hot soup or stir fried. Yours look really tempting. Hope you're having a great week ahead.
