Fry the lotus root rather than boil it (or fry it too long). You won't get the stringy-crap.

Lotus root in hotpot is fantastic and lotus root in soups is a good substitution for potato.

Lotus root is one of the things I miss from China. What's great about it is it stays crispy no matter what you do to it. Usually I had it cooked in some kind of sauce or in hotpot.

I got Z stamp and when back in China, I had to complete another RP ME, which was on the employer, i.e. included in the Contract ...We've never discussed refund of payment for HK ME with my employer.
