Marinated Lotus Root

Lotus root is gorgeous, if you've never cooked it (or heard of it) before. A light marinade gives the lotus root a delicate balance of flavors to go along with its picture-perfect appearance.

ingredients
1 pound fresh lotus root
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sesame oil
directions
Peel lotus root, discard both ends, and cut in 1/8-inch-thick slices. Place in cold water to prevent discoloring, but drain before cooking.
Bring a pan of water to boiling. Add lotus root and cook for 3 minutes. Lotus root should be crisp-tender. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again.
In a plastic bag, mix the soy, vinegar, sugar, salt, and sesame oil. Place drained lotus root in the bag and seal. Refrigerate, turning bag occasionally to distribute marinade, for at least 1 hour or as long as 8 hours.
To serve, arrange lotus root on a serving plate and pour over any remaining marinade.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

This recipe is gorgeous and delicious. I've made it very spring for the past 3 years and the only way I've tweaked it was to double it and add some chili sesame oil in addition to the regular sesame. This year I may add cucumber as well. Love it!

This recipe is easy, delicious and truly beautiful. The only thing I wish I had done differently is double the recipe. Perfect for warm spring days and I can see it being a hit on an appetizer plate in the summer too!
