Lotus root

Lotus root is crispy even if it's cooked. Some people like the texture. Others hate it. I like it sometimes. Landlord has been saying she wants to eat lotus root. She is good at cooking Japanese dishes so she decided to share this dish with us. I'm sure you are curious how it is cooked. Lotus root was boiled and seasoned, whose cooking style is, so-to-speak, nimono in Japan. She spiced it up with some hot peppers--you can see red spots in the picture. It was so good that I wanna have it everyday;P. I'm thinking of making nimono with chicken, taro, snow peas and shitake mushrooms.
