Directions

25 min
  1. 1

    Peel 350g of taro root, cut into bite-sized pieces, and boil until slightly firm. Drain well.

  2. 2

    Coat the boiled taro with 2 tbsp potato starch. Heat plenty of salad oil in a frypan over medium heat and shallow-fry until the edges are golden and the taro is tender.

  3. 3

    Turn off the heat, add the ★ seasonings, and toss to coat evenly.

  4. 4

    Add 2 tbsp ground sesame and mix well to bring out the toasted aroma. Serve immediately.

Tips

Avoid overcooking the taro as it becomes crumbly. Slightly firm is best. If it does become too soft, the potato starch coating will help keep it intact during frying.
