Don't want to deal with raw meat to keep it fast and simple. Plus, I have other dishes that has raw meat for dinner. Your version can be used as a consideration in the future.

No la, this is very fast and easy but just "looks" like a lot of work.

Approx time is about 10 mins to cook. Prep time about 10 mins. (I cook rice before I start and might as well steam the sausages in there)

Purpleheart,
A few of my own tips:
*Make sure your ingredient is dry, ie: towel dry after washing.
*Add egg and flour or corn starch
*Avoid over mixing
*If raw meat is involved, "daat" the mixture until you can form a ball before you fry
*Make sure your oil is hot enough so the food will caramelized immediately instead of soaking up the oil = sauggy and breaks
*Sprinkle salt on after cooking. (Salt causes some foods to release water)

Hope they help.

Yeah, i love the crunchy texture too! I used the Magic Bullet to chop the ingredient. After I pan fried the lotusroot patties, the outside is crispy and inside still has chunks of lotusroots.
