I served Lotus Root Stir Fry Appetizer at Chinese Canadian Historical Society B.C. demonstration of Chinese Cooking and Book Reading at Barbra Jo`s Books For Cooks.

2 lotus root (2 lbs.)

2 tablespoons chopped ginger
1 cup chopped green onions

Wash lotus root in cold water. Peel lotus root with potato peeler or knife. Slice lotus root in 1/8 or 1/4 inch diameter.

Heat wok or pan at medium heat and add cooking oil. Add garlic and ginger and stir fry briefly. Add lotus root and stir fry for 7 to 10 minutes. Add salt, 5 spice powder and chicken base and stir fry briefly. Add water and stir fry until most of water is gone. 10 minutes before serving, add green onions and mix well with the lotus root.
