Preparation method: Peel the lotus root, wash it clean, and set aside.

Slice the lotus root thinly, two slices per set, do not cut through.

Rinse the lotus root slices with clean water to remove the starch, blanch them in cold water to remove the raw taste, take them out, rinse with cold water, and drain the water for later use.

For the minced meat, choose pork shoulder with 70% lean and 30% fat. Take an appropriate amount of minced meat, add a suitable amount of salt, sesame oil, thirteen-spice powder, chicken bouillon, one egg, a little starch, an appropriate amount of chopped green onions, a little ginger juice, and some oil. Stir evenly in one direction until well mixed and flavorful, then set aside.

Place an appropriate amount of meat filling between the slices of lotus root, finish making all of them, and set aside.

100 grams of cornstarch, 50 grams of flour, one egg, a pinch of salt, an appropriate amount of water, stir evenly in one direction, add a little oil, and mix into a yogurt-like batter.

Put the coupling box into the batter, and the surface is covered with batter.

Add an appropriate amount of oil to the pan, and fry the youtiao squares when the oil reaches 60% of its temperature.

Fry the coupler box until cooked the first time, then take it out.

For the second frying, heat the oil and fry for 30 seconds, then remove the pieces from the oil.

The beancurd box is crispy on the outside and fragrant on the inside, with a fresh and tender taste.
