I've been going to the asian market that is near my new house. yeah! Lots of yummy stuff and particularly good produce prices. Thought I was picking out sweet potatoes, they looked like sweet potatoes but the cashier rang them up as lotus root. What the heck do I do with lotus root??

Thanks Iz! Knew you'd be able to help me out!

they are so healthy! it fixes diarhea, and clears "heat" from your body . also rich in vitamins. slight sweet taste. if the root is very yound, you can just julienne it into salad. otherwise, you can use it as you would any potato--cut it up into a stew or soup, make french fries (or oven baked fries) .

or my answer to every problem in the world---just stir fry it! (cut it up first into slices)

you can google "lotus root recipes" and a bunch of stir fry recipes will pop up.
