How to Make Sugar-Coated Taro

Sugar-coated taro is a famous snack from the Chaoshan region, perfect for afternoon tea. It's particularly easy to make. Estimated preparation time: 20 minutes.

Estimated cooking difficulty: ★★★

Essential Ingredients and Tools

Lipu taro (available on e-commerce platforms; affordable and fresh)
White sugar or rock sugar
Water
Green onions

Measurements

Lipu taro: 200g
White sugar: 30g
Water: 15g

Instructions

Cut the taro into long strips (slightly thicker strips are better as they hold up well during frying).
Add enough oil to submerge the taro. Heat the oil until it's ready (test by inserting a chopstick; small bubbles should appear around it).
Place the taro strips into the hot oil. Fry until they float to the surface, usually turning slightly yellow and becoming easy to pierce with a chopstick.
Save the oil used for frying the taro; it can be reused for stir-frying or other dishes.
The key step: Heat the sugar (30g) and water (15g) in a 2:1 ratio until the mixture stops changing color and starts bubbling slightly.
Add chopped green onions and the fried taro. Turn off the heat and stir-fry. As the temperature drops, the sugar will crystallize and coat the taro, creating the "sugar-coated" effect.
Plate and serve!

Additional Notes

Freshly made sugar-coated taro is very hot; be careful not to burn your mouth.
Pair it with a cup of tea for a truly relaxing experience.
