Recipes made with Water Chestnuts

Water chestnuts, also known as Eleocharis dulcis, are an aquatic vegetable commonly used in Asian cuisine. Despite their name, water chestnuts are not nuts but rather tuber vegetables that grow underwater. They have a crunchy texture and a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Water chestnuts are often used in stir-fries, salads, and various Asian dishes for their crispness and ability to retain their texture when cooked. They can also be enjoyed raw or pickled.
