Today I want to introduce a traditional rice dish called taro rice (芋头饭).
Taro rice (芋头饭) is an easy onepot meal that is incredibly delicious. The fragrance from the ingredients is enough to make you drool!
Besides taro, it is prepared with shitake mushrooms, Chinese sausage, and fried shallots. These ingredients are with high umami, and the rice soaked up all the flavors like a sponge, making it incredibly delicious.
Here are the detailed steps on how to make taro rice.
Note: The root vegetable taro is called 芋头 in Chinese. Since yam is also called 芋头, it is commonly translated as yam rice. Both mean the same dish, 芋头饭.
