In order to let everyone have a variety of flavors when eating taro, today I will introduce a delicacy to you, that is, candied taro. This dish is sweet and delicious, and the appearance is golden and attractive. It doesn’t matter if you can’t make it, because I will tell you how to make candied taro.

How to make candied taro

1. When making candied taro, you need to prepare 500 grams of taro and 200 grams of sugar, 10 grams of sesame seeds, and 750 grams of cooking oil (lard is also OK). Not all of this oil will be used up, and the consumption is about 100 grams.

2. Wash the purchased taro with clean water, then remove the skin and cut it into dice with a knife. If you don’t know how to cut it, you can also cut it into diamond-shaped pieces. After cutting, you can put it on a plate for later use.

3. Remove impurities from the sesame seeds. It is best to rinse them with clean water and then drain them for later use.

4. Pour 750 grams of cooking oil into the pot, then heat it to 60% hot. Then put the cut taro pieces into the oil and fry them. When the taro in the pot turns golden yellow, you can take them out and drain the oil.

5. Pour out the oil in the pot, leaving only about 15 grams of base oil, then pour in the white sugar, stirring constantly with a spoon until the white sugar is evenly heated and completely melted. Medium or low heat is best here. When bubbles appear in the syrup in the pot, you can pour the hydrogen-fried taro in.

6. After pouring in the taro, add the sesame seeds and stir them quickly to allow the syrup and sesame seeds to evenly wrap the outer layer of the taro. Then you can serve it on a plate. Serve it on the table quickly and eat it while it is hot. If you are afraid of the heat, you can prepare a bowl of cold water. If you eat too slowly, the taro will all stick together and you won’t be able to enjoy the fun of pulling the silk.
