Learned a new skill today: making lotus root starch

The reason is that we still hadn’t eaten the lotus root starch my wife’s friend gave us last time, and she didn’t feel like having dinner, so she asked me to learn how to make it on the spot 😁. I have to say, it turned out really well on my first try ✌️

Next time you make lotus root starch for your wife, just follow these steps and you’re guaranteed to get it right on the first try 😎:

Step 1: First, mix it evenly with cold water. The ratio of cold water to lotus root starch should be about 2:1. The amount of cold water determines how thick it will be.

Step 2: Pour in boiling water at 100°C to make the lotus root starch set.

⚠️ The key tip: If it hasn’t set yet, don’t stop pouring in the boiling water.

And that’s it—a perfect cup of lotus root starch!
