Ingredients

5 to 6 topinambour (about 500g) - cut into slices (about 3mm) and soak in vinegar (lemon) water for about 30min.
3 to 4 garlic cloves - finely chopped
25g fresh ginger - finely chopped
520g graged pork
1 leek - roughly chopped

Ingredient A

1/2 tsp fine salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tsp soy sauce
2 tbsp katakuriko/potato starch
2 tsp chicken stock powder or torigara chicken stock powder
2 eggs - mix with 80ml milk
some cake or plain flour
some panko / bread crumbs

Instructions

1. In a bowl, add garlic, ginger, grated pork and ingredient A. Mix well to combine. Set aside.
2. Drain the topinambour and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. On a slice of topinambour, place about 1 tbsp filling from #1 and spread. Cover with another slice of topinambour on top and press down to make a sandwich.
3. Combine 2 eggs with milk. Coat the lotus roots 'sandwich' with katakuriko/potato starch thinly. Dip it in egg mixture, and finally coat it thoroughly with Panko (bread crumbs).
4. Put a tiny amount of panko in the hot oil to check if it is ready. If it sizzles, it's ready! (or stick a chopstick in the oil and see if bubbles start to appear around the chopstick). Remove excess panko from your 'sandwiches' and press them gently. Fry them both sides until browned.
5. Serve hot!
