Taro with Preserved Mustard Greens

Crispy, sweet, and utterly irresistible, this Cantonese-style Sugar-Coated Taro is a delightful treat that’s perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. Made with just two simple ingredients—taro and sugar—this dish transforms humble taro strips into a crispy, caramelized delicacy. The taro is first steamed to tender perfection, then lightly fried for a golden exterior. The magic happens when the sugar syrup is cooked to just the right consistency, coating each strip in a shimmering, sandy texture known as “raising the sand.” The result? A warm, crispy bite with a melt-in-your-mouth sweetness. Best enjoyed hot, this dish offers a delightful contrast of textures and flavors, making it a standout dessert or snack. Easy to make yet impressive to serve, this Sugar-Coated Taro is a must-try for anyone who loves unique, homemade treats!
