INGREDIENTS
•
■1 pound lotus root, peeled and sliced about 1/8″ thick (put the slices in a bowl of water with a little vinegar to keep them from discoloring)
•
■3 cups vinegar (the recipe calls for rice vinegar but I ran out and had to substitute mostly white vinegar, which worked fine)
•
■1/2 cup sugar
•
■1 Tbsp lemon peel, julienned
•
■1 Tbsp ginger root, julienned
•
■1/2 tsp chile flakes
•
■1/2 tsp Kosher salt

■a few grinds of black pepper
