Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Peel one taro and cut it into four pieces, steam it in a steamer for 30 to 40 minutes until cooked.

   

2. 2 Rub the steamed taro with the back of a knife repeatedly until it looks like mud without any particles.

   

3. 3 Use about half a bowl of freshly fried lard, remove the oil residue (you will need more when making taro paste).

   

4. 4 Slowly heat, add taro, and use a spatula to spread the taro puree in one direction, applying force repeatedly until it feels smooth (the longer you apply it, the better).

   

5. 5 Add sugar and continue to spread until sugar is completely dissolved.

   

6. 6 An authentic "Chaoshan taro puree" is finished. If you like the flavor of coriander or tangerine peel, you can chop it into pieces and add it, then mix well!
