Lotus root cubes with tomato sauce

Overview

The sweet and sour lotus root cubes in tomato sauce are brightly colored, sweet and sour. Enveloped by the sweet and sour juice, the lotus root pieces turn golden all over. When you bite into it, you will feel the sweetness and sourness at first, and then the crispy outside and soft inside of the lotus root pieces. If you don't taste it carefully, how can you know that it is made of lotus root?
