They have a beautiful white color that goldens when cooked, a very crispy texture, a nice shape and a delicious taste. And practicaly they&#8217;re super easy to peel and cut, and don&#8217;t require a lot of cooking time. It&#8217;s quite simple to find some all year round but spring for tiny ones, and autumns for larger ones seems the best periods. They grow in many places in Japan so &nbsp;local lotus roots are also easy to find, though the best I&#8217;ve ever had came from Kanazawa, which is famous for lotus roots.<\/p>\n<p>Lotus roots accomodate very well with other veggies and I like to cook them with carrots, shishito, kabocha&#8230; I also love them in homemade chips. This week I&#8217;ve been working late pretty much every day, so fixing dinner in a short time was quite a must. So for this recipe I simpl cut and wash the peeled lotus root, stir fry in a bit of oil, added some shishito, and in the mean time cooked some rice with sweet potatoes. I served the rice, topped with the lotus roots and shishito, added some sesame seeds and a bit of salt. Dinner&#8217;s ready!<\/p>\n<p>      <img src=\"http:\/\/static1.squarespace.com\/static\/54c4c3bde4b03dfa2a325d98\/550e8df8e4b047e3d942a260\/5629b9bde4b07c69536dd87f\/1445575101981\/image.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you may have noticed already I really love to cook lotus roots (renkon-\u84ee\u6839)\u00a0.
