Dumb question, what is the vegetable that looks like cooked Honeycomb cereal? Super interesting textural element to add to a dish and I'd like to try it!
It's lotus root. If you cook it lightly, it's similar to water chestnuts. If you cook it heavily, it's a little more like potato. It has a very light taste and takes on the flavor of whatever sauce you cook it in

I cheat and buy the pre-sliced ones, but yeah, whenever I go to the oriental grocery, I always get some

There is something about glossy veggies that is just so appealing!
