Remove the skin of the lotus root. Then place it in water, cut in half vertically, and slice cut-side down at consistent widths from end to end.
Lotus root - soaking in water

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.
