Braised lotus root
Cook 1/2 lbs sliced lotus root in water with a splash of vinegar for 5 minutes
Rinse in cold water and strain
In a small sauce pan, saute for about five minutes over medium heat with a little olive oil until softened
Add a cup of water, 2 tbs soy sauce and a crushed clove of garlic and bring to a boil
Cover and simmer for 40 minutes, adding more water if needed and to turn over the lotus pieces
Add 1/4 cup of sugar and simmer another 20 minutes
Open the lid and turn up the heat to medium
Watching carefully so you don't burn anything, cook another 10-12 minutes until the liquid thickens and coats the lotus root
Off heat, add 1 tsp sesame oil and stir
Serve sprinkled with sesame seeds
