The last picture of the finished product is steamed and stuffed lotus root. Thanks for watching! Cooking tips for steamed stuffed lotus root1. Choose lotus root of medium thickness and cut into thin slices of consistent thickness. This can shorten the soaking time in water (if the lotus root slices are cut thickly, the soaking time will need to be extended.)
2. Stick corn starch on the lotus roots and stuff them with meat filling to prevent the meat filling from falling off.
3. If you don’t like putting eggs, don’t put them in.
4. What I use here is pork filling. If you don’t like it, you can replace it with beef filling.
