Eggplant Sauce Lotus Root Slices

This Stir-Fried Lotus Root with Tomatoes is a vibrant and flavorful dish that combines the crisp texture of lotus root with the tangy sweetness of tomatoes. Thinly sliced lotus root soaks up the rich, umami-packed tomato sauce, enhanced with aromatic scallions, ginger, and a hint of sugar for balance. The key to this dish is the double stir-fry method—first cooking down the tomatoes into a luscious sauce, then tossing in the lotus root for a perfect crisp-tender bite. A touch of chicken essence deepens the savory notes, making every bite irresistible. Quick to prepare yet packed with layers of flavor, this recipe is a delicious way to enjoy lotus root in a fresh, modern twist. Perfect as a side or light main, it’s a must-try for lovers of bold, vegetable-forward dishes!
