lotus root

🥗Healthier: jicama

💰Cheaper: potatoes

Peel and thinly slice the lotus root.

Soak the lotus root slices in water to prevent browning.

In a bowl, combine ground pork, minced scallions, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and salt.

Add the soaked and drained lotus root to the meat mixture and mix well.

Form the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.

Coat each meatball in cornstarch, shaking off excess.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Carefully add the meatballs to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary.

Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally.

Remove the meatballs and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot, garnished with coriander and chili flakes.
