- 2 tablespoons frying oil e.g. rapeseed oil (approx. 2 tablespoons of oil depending on the size of the pan)
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
Egg replacement
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour

Breading
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

- 2 teaspoons white sesame seeds

Instructions
- Let the frozen lotus root slices thaw at room temperature or in water. Then drain.
- Pour soy sauce over the lotus root slices and let them marinate for a few minutes, while we’re preparing the egg replacement and breading.
- For the egg replacement: Whisk together in a bowl: flour, water, and salt.
- For the breading: In another bowl combine flour, panko breadcrumbs, fine breadcrumbs, white and black sesame seeds, and salt.
- Bring a pan with oil to medium to high heat.
- Dip each lotus root slice first into the egg replacement, then into the breading, then place them into the pan and pan-fry them for approx. 3 minutes on each side until crispy and golden.
- Place the breaded & fried lotus root slices on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Then they are ready to serve!
