Besides making arrowhead into crispy chips, most Chinese especially the Cantonese like to steam it with Chinese sausage. Since I have some arrowheads in the fridge, I would love to give it a try. Otherwise, I will have to wait for another year until the next season for arrowheads.
I heard from my friends that arrowhead is "windy" so I added some grated ginger and Chinese wine. Not sure if it makes the dish tastier or worse. If you like the original flavor, just omit the grated ginger, garlic and Chinese wine. Personally, I don't like the arrowhead cooking in this way. Crispy arrowhead chips tastes much more better for sure.

Ingredients:
3 medium-sized arrowhead
2 Chinese sausage
1 tbsp of Chinese wine
1tsp grated ginger
1tsp grated garlic
Method:
1. Clean the arrowhead. Peeled and thinly sliced at about 2mm thickness.
2. Cut the Chinese sausage diagonally.
3. Arrange the arrowhead on a porcelain plate. Add the grated ginger and garlic on top of it and sprinkle it with Chinese wine. Arrange the Chinese sausage on top of everything.
4. Steam over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes.

This looks interesting! I'd love to try it sometime.
I tried this recipe with potato. I feel that somehow this dish is too bland. :P

A happy and prosperous CNY to you.
