The head is absolutely fried lamb puff pastry.

Scoop and cool, then evenly sprinkle with sautéed white sesame seeds and chopped coriander.

Taro puree is another must. Taro puree is often served as the last dish in the feast, taking the meaning of sweet head and tail sweet. How to make taro paste: "After steaming the taro, it is finely pureed, add bean paste, sugar, fried sesame seeds and diced white meat, cooked lotus seeds, a small amount of orange juice or chopped citrus cakes, and steamed to become hot without smoke, sticky and slippery without hanging bowls, sweet and fragrant, oily but not greasy Chaoshan snacks."

Regarding taro paste, people always like to tell such a story, saying that Lin Zexu was commissioned by the Daoguang Emperor to ban smoking in Guangdong. The British, German, American, and Russian consuls stationed in Guangzhou set up a banquet to invite them to eat ice cream, and Lin Zexu saw that this "foreign play" was directly bubbling with heat and did not dare to rush into the mouth. When the foreigners saw his cautious look, they laughed very rudely. Lin Zexu was silent. The next day, Lin Zexu set up a banquet to pay tribute according to diplomatic etiquette. After a few cold dishes, the taro paste was served, and a consul thought it was another cold dish, so he used a spoon to scoop a full spoon into his mouth, and the result was that it was so hot that he screamed.
The third is the turning of sand taro, which used to be a seasonal food for the Mid-Autumn Festival. After peeling the taro, cut into finger-shaped pieces, fry them in a frying pan and stir-fry them. After a while, put the taro cubes into the oil to remove the water vapor. Then add an appropriate amount of sugar and water, put it into the pot to cook, until the sugar water is sticky like glue, put the taro pieces in, mix well, and immediately remove it from the stove, which becomes a fragrant and crisp potato. Regarding the ploughing of sand and taro, there is also a rather heroic incident: After the Yuan soldiers invaded Chaozhou that year, in order to consolidate their rule, they implemented the joint household system, that is, three families and one guarantee, and every three families raised one yuanfan, and Ren Yuanfan went to sleep in which house at will. What is even more intolerable is that whoever marries a daughter-in-law, the bride's head is only allowed to sleep with the Yuan soldiers at night. The people could not bear it any longer and met on the night of August 15 to kill Yuan Fan. As a result, overnight, the heinous Yuan soldiers were slaughtered. The people were still angry, and they used the taro as a yuanfan head, cut it into strips, fried it in oil, fished it up and added sugar, and used it to worship the moon and eat it.
