Cut a peeled carrot into 4 to 5 cm (about 2 in.) pieces lengthwise, and slice each piece into 3 mm (0.1 in.) wide planks, gradually sliding and stacking the slices. Lastly julienne these into 3 mm (0.1 in.) width thin sticks.

Since cut lotus root turns brown once it comes into contact with air, once peeled quickly rinse under cold water, and after cutting up, place into cold water for 5 to 10 minutes. Some recipes suggest soaking in "vinegared water" (water will some vinegar added to it), however regular cold water is sufficient.
