Read about a recipe on cooking lotus roots in vinegar.
I thought this would be an interesting recipe. I never have thought of cooking in that way! Anyway, I decided to give it a try.
I searched through the web for some recipe.
Interestingly, I got to know the Japanese name for Vinegared Lotus Roots is Su Renkon.
Renkon is lotus roots while Su is rice vinegar in Japanese.
Found recipe on several website. But this is the one I followed closely.
