- 2 anchovies or a few drops of soy sauce Anchovy fillets or soy sauce
- 1 Red chilli (sliced)
- 1 Plain flour
- 1 Sea salt
- 1 Black pepper
Method
- Soak the lotus root slices vinegar thinly diluted in water to remove the bitterness.
- After soaking, rinse and thoroughly pat dry with a paper towel.
- Sprinkle flour on one side using a tea strainer.
- Shape 28-30 g of the burger patty mix into a ball and place on top the slices of lotus root from Step 3.
- Place another slice of lotus root from Step 3 on top of the burger from Step 4 with the floured side down.
- Place the lotus root sandwich from Step 5 on the palm of your non-dominant hand and press down on the upper lotus root slice with your dominant hand to compress the sandwich neatly.
- While pressing, hold the lotus root sandwich carefully with your non-dominant hand so as not to force out the patty from between the lotus root slices.
- Carefully press the lotus root sandwich evenly to fill the holes of the lotus root with the meat patty.
- Use an oven-proof skillet or thick-bottomed pot to fry them.
- Pour in the olive oil and add the garlic to the pan and place over a low heat.
- When the bottom sides of the garlic are golden brown and fragrant, turn them over.
- Remove when both sides are golden brown.
- Add the lotus root sandwiches from Step 7 and red chiili to the skillet from Step 9 and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
- Heat over low-medium.
- After the bottom sides of the lotus root sandwiches from Step 10 are golden brown, flip over.
- Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and brown both sides nicely.
- Put the cooked lotus root sandwiches from Step 11 into an oven preheated to 250 C and cook for 6 minutes.
- * The cooking time may differ according to your oven.
- While baking the lotus root sandwiches, roughly chop the anchovies.
- After 6 minutes remove the lotus root sandwiches from Step 12 from the oven and sprinkle with the anchovies from Step 13.
- Because they are very hot the anchovy should instantly release a nice smell.
- If you're using soy sauce instead, sprinkle on a few drops at this point.
- Sprinkle with dried basil, parsley, or other herb of your choice (optional).
- They are done.
- Drizzle with anchovy and garlic oil before serving.
- I love these crispy lotus roots and burger patties...the anchovy and garlic flavour is irresistible.
- Give them a try.
- [Additional note] If you are a garlic lover, roughly chop the garlic used in Step 9 and serve it on the side.
- is my burger patty recipe.
- Otherwise, use your favorite burger patty mix or a store-bought one.
