Sweet potato and lotus root with sweet sour sauce.

Equipment

  • Medium frying pan

Ingredients
  

  • ½ Sweet Potato
  • ½ Lotus Root, about 100g
  • Vegetable Oil, for pan frying
  • 1 Tbsp Potato Starch
Sweet & Sour Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp Sugar

Instructions
 

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Slice the sweet potato and lotus root into small pieces.
  2. Cook the sweet potato: Place the sweet potato in a frying pan and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until just tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. Fry the lotus root: Heat oil in the same frying pan over medium heat. Lightly coat the lotus root with potato starch and fry until crispy.
  4. Return the sweet potato: Add the sweet potato back to the pan and lightly fry.
  5. Add the sauce: In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar. Pour into the pan and toss quickly to coat the vegetables evenly, letting the sauce lightly glaze them.
  6. Serve: Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.
