#renkon

I got a renkon snack for today - Lotus root chips, French dressing flavor. 

(Recently I’ve seen around few different renkon snacks with different flavors - I hope it’s a permanent trend, I like how light and crispy are those… )

Here’s another recipe I found in the 10 minute cooking book I’ve been using.

Carrot, chicken, and lotus root saute with sesame:

250g boneless chicken, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 small lotus root (about 200g), peeled and coarsely chopped
1 carrot, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 tsp white sesame seeds
1 tsp salad oil
2 Tbsps sake
½ C water
2 Tbsps mirin
1 tsp sugar
2 Tbsps soy sauce

Heat oil in frying pan, then add chicken and saute until browned. Add vegetables and saute together.

Once the oil has coated everything, add sake, water, mirin, sugar, and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer, then cover with a lid and cook on low heat for 5 to 6 min.

Remove lid, and saute while stirring until most of the liquid has evaporated. Mix in sesame seeds and serve.

This was SO TASTY, and really really easy!
