Instructions
- Add the oil to a large pot and heat under medium-high heat. Cut a little piece of lotus root off and throw it in to check if it sizzles before frying.
- Peel the lotus root(s), and slice very finely on a mandolin or with a knife.
- Add the lotus slices to the hot oil with a slotted spoon very slowly and stir often until they are golden brown, about 4 minutes. Do this in batches to not overcrowd the pan. BE CAREFUL, there will be splattering.
- Remove the lotus chips to a wire rack for cooling and sprinkle some salt on them while still hot. Repeat with the rest of the lotus.
Notes
- Most recipes tell you to let fried food cool on a paper towel, however cooling on a wire rack over a sheet pan is a much better method. The oil still has enough space to drip off the lotus root but won't get soggy at that bottom.
