Kinpira Renkon きんぴらレンコン (Stir Fried Lotus Root in Sesame Oil) (V)

Kinpira Renkon is a delightful Japanese dish that showcases the unique crunch of lotus root. Thinly sliced lotus root is stir-fried with carrots in fragrant sesame oil and seasoned with a combination of soy sauce, mirin, and a hint of sweetness. The result is a delicious balance of flavours, with a slight nuttiness from the sesame oil and a subtle sweetness from the mirin. This dish is garnished with sesame seeds for added crunch and a sprinkle of chili flakes for a touch of heat. It's a wonderful side dish or appetiser to go along with any donburi.
