Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Add five-spice powder, one egg, salt, chicken essence, and chopped green onion to the pork filling, and mix well.

   

2. 2 Peel and wash the lotus root, slice it, and cut it into clip-like shapes. Cut to two-thirds of the way without cutting with the first knife, and cut off with the second knife to form a clip-like shape. After cutting, blanch it in boiling water. Mix the starch into an egg and an appropriate amount of black pepper (you can add other seasonings if you like), add an appropriate amount of water and mix well.

   

3. 3 Put the stuffing into the lotus root clips.

   

4. 4 Add oil to the wok. When the oil is 70% hot, wrap the lotus root clips in the starch paste and put them in the pan to fry. Fry both sides until they change color and remove to control the oil.

   

5. 5 Finally, you can top it with your favorite sauce, such as tomato sauce.
