I bought a bag/package of peeled and boiled lotus root. Seeing others use it made me very curious. Well now I am stuck -- opened the bag the other day and tried pan frying a couple of pieces with what I was making for breakfast. I got my son and my husband to try it. The men were like "ok but I would not be interested in having it again" and I am wondering what else I can do. Also - how long will it last in the fridge now that the sealed packaging is open?? Thanks for the help.
