Stir-Fried Lettuce
This spicy and aromatic Sichuan-style lotus root salad is a vibrant dish that combines crisp texture with bold flavors.

A splash of vinegar adds tanginess, while sesame oil lends a rich, nutty finish. Quick to prepare yet packed with layers of heat and crunch, this dish is perfect as a refreshing appetizer or a zesty side. The unique blend of spices and the natural sweetness of lotus root make it an unforgettable taste experience—ideal for those who love bold, authentic Sichuan cuisine.
