Japanese Taro Tumbles
This popular Japanese Taro dish reminds of hometown. Potatoes can also be used as a substitute for taros. But since potatoes lose their shape easily, additional care is required when simmering.
<<ingredients : serves 4>>
400g Japanese taros
1 cup dashi
1 1/2 tbsp — sake
1 1/2 tbsp — mirin (sweet cooking sake)
3 tbsp — sugar
Yellow-colored yuzu rind
<<How To>>
- Wash taros thoroughly, cut both ends off, and peel.
- Place the taros, dashi, sake, mirin and sugar in a pot, cover with a drop lid, and heat over medium heat. Cook for 10 minutes, and add soy sauce, and simmer it down.
- When the taros in the pot become tender, shake the pot to tumble the taros, coating them with glaze.
- Arrange the taros in a bowl, and place the shredded yuzu rind on top of it.
<<Tips>>
- Choose smaller taros of an equal size. These types of taros will be more likely to retain their shape while simmering.
