Lotus Root with Vegetables

Lotus roots is really a versatile vegetable. Is not only for making soup but you can use it for stir-fry, pickle, stew, make chips and even eat it raw as a salad. One of my favorite way of cooking it is a quick stir-frying with some vegetables. I like the sweet crunchy taste if it.

Ingredients :

1 small piece of lotus root - sliced thinly
half a carrot - sliced
1 red pepper - cut into chunks
a handful of french beans - cut into 1 1/2"

2 cloves of garlic - finely chopped

Seasoning :

2 tbsp of oyster sauce
1 tbsp of soy sauce

1) Heat up some oil in frying pan and stir fry garlic until lightly brown.
