Munch into something crunchy and fiery.
Braised Lotus Root with soya rice, mirin wine, maple syrup, chilli, sesame seed and sprinkled spring onion.
This dish will topple your belief that vegan good can’t be nourishing without a few choice ingredients.
Make this:
- When you fancy an Asian fake out night but all with the comforts of home
- When you’ve got mates over for dinner and need a dish to go with your bevvies
- When you’ve been shopping at your local Asian supermarket nad hunt out lotus roots what to do with them
Braised Lotus Root was inspired when attending a Korean restaurant and realising there are more uses and dishes to lotus root than first imagined.
Braised Lotus Root is vegan and paleo.
Love.
