goodeats Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I went to Super H Mart thinking they had some stocked readily, but couldn't find it anywhere in either the produce or frozen areas. Did I miss it or do they not sell it? If so, where have you seen it? Am I thinking Great Wall? I'm craving a pork stock made rice with lotus root (or ribs and lotus soup), so I wanted to make some, but of course, am missing the key ingredient. Virginia recommendations preferred, as I live in VA, but wherever is key!!! Thanks!! (can you sense the urgency of a mad woman?!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lperry Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I saw it last week at the Grand Mart on Little River Turnpike in Annandale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grover Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I thought Super H definitely carries it but didn't pay attention lately. I will ask them this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escoffier Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I asked someone in produce and they gave me the strangest look. but did you ask in Korean? They have lotus root in the cooler on the wall where the milk and dairy products are but they may be pickled lotus root. I've also seen them fresh in the produce section. Grover will (bad pun alert) "root" them out if they have them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandynva Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I was at dana bazaar in rockville on saturday and they definitely had the frozen sliced stuff in the frozen section and i think, but am not sure, that they had fresh ones too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooter Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 They used to have fresh lotus root at the Alexandria Whole Foods, but now they just carry it in plastic water filled bags. Unfortunately, these have absolutely no flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I upped the chili sauce as I wanted it spicier, and I added bok choy and lotus root as I didn't have quite as much eggplant as called for in the recipe. Served with wild and brown rice. https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/ma-po-eggplant-in-garlic-sauce Hubby despite not liking mapo tofu, and not being very excited when I said mapo eggplant, ate two helpings so, I think we did good. Was it fresh lotus root or canned?I really want to learn to look for good fresh lotus root. I've bought it a couple times and it seems to get weird black spots and turn a little slimy in a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a package of fresh cut slices in the refrigerated section of Lotte. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PollyG Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Check the Indian frozen vegetable section at your local pan-Asian food store to find fairly small slices. We've added them to soups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
