Crispy Sesame Lotus Root Salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that highlights the natural crunch and subtle sweetness of lotus root. This simple yet delicious recipe combines thinly shredded lotus root with rich sesame oil for a nutty, aromatic taste. The key to maintaining its crisp texture is coating the lotus root with sesame oil first—locking in moisture before adding salt to prevent sogginess.

Quick to prepare and packed with nutrients, it’s an irresistible way to enjoy lotus root at its best!

Step 4
Then add a large spoonful of salt. The lotus root contains more water, if salt is added first, it will cause the water in the lotus root to come out quickly, and the dehydrated lotus root will not be crispy. First, use sesame oil to wrap the water in the lotus root, and then add salt, but this method can only alleviate, and if the time is too long, it will also cause the lotus root shreds to release a lot of water. If you like a stronger flavor, you can add soy sauce, pepper powder or a small amount of sugar.
