Sweet and Sour Pink Lotus Root

Wash and chop the red cabbage into small pieces. Place it in a blender, add a bowl of cold boiled water, blend and strain to extract the juice, then add a small spoon of white vinegar. It will instantly turn pink.

Wash the store-bought lotus root slices clean. (I bought pre-processed slices that don't need to be blanched. If you're using raw unpeeled lotus root, peel it, slice it, and blanch it in boiling water.)

Take a container and add honey.

Mix the honey thoroughly into the red cabbage juice.

Soak the lotus root slices in the mixture.

Cover with a lid and refrigerate. It's ready to serve in an hour.
