# 温暖小厨房 # The 100% successful method of making lotus root starch in the kitchen. Lotus root starch is purchased online from Yami, and the brand is Fu Shi Duo. What I particularly like about this lotus root starch is: 1) This is pure lotus root starch, with no added or miscellaneous additives, so the calories are low, only 68 calories per pack, and you don’t have to worry about being unhealthy; 2) Because it is pure lotus root starch, the color of the brewed lotus root is very clear, and it is a light color of flour powder, unlike some lotus root starch with high sugar content, which is brown when brewed. Good lotus root starch will also be difficult to soak. If you brew directly with hot water, it will definitely clump! If you use cold water first and then hot water, it is easy not to condense, but to become a bowl of lotus root soup... My method is, first use a little cold water, soak it, add boiling water to the desired amount, and the last and most important step, microwave for 20 seconds, it works every time! The soaked lotus root powder is super delicate!
