Lotus Root might be an unfamiliar vegetable for you. It’s hard to find fresh Lotus Root, but Frozen Lotus Root Slices are available from many Asian grocery stores. Lotus Root is a popular vegetable in Japan, and it can be seasoned in a variety of flavours. Today I seasoned with my favourite combination, Garlic and Anchovy.
