Instructions
 

  • Prepare the sauce by combining soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, dark soy sauce and brown sugar.
  • In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water. Stir well to remove any clumps.
  • Heat cooking oil in a wok over medium high heat. Add lotus root slices and stir-fry until slightly brown; about 2 minutes.
