Can I freeze these patties?

Yes, cook and cool them completely, then freeze in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers for up to 1 month.

Why must the lotus root be boiled first?

Raw lotus root is very firm and poses a choking risk. Boiling it until soft ensures it mashes easily and is safe for toddlers to chew.

Can I add other vegetables?

Absolutely! Finely grated zucchini or steamed mashed peas work perfectly when mixed into this dough.
