In Phillip's memory,
The kitchen is the territory of the adults,
Naughty bear children are not allowed to enter casually,
Especially when I was ready to eat taro that day,
Mom will definitely tell Fei Li again and again:
But that's what children are.
The more you don't let me do anything, the more I want to do it.
So Fei Li took advantage of the fact that the adults did not pay attention,
Ran into the kitchen and touched a handful of taro,
Then I fully realized the meaning of the song:
No mistake, the delicacy of taro everyone knows,
The bulging bulbs are stuffed with starch,
Every bite feels like heat is rippling in the mouth.
And Taro knows its own temptations,
So I tried my best to prevent myself from being eaten.
Taro is used to protect its own weapons,
It's oxalates, proteases and saponins,
These substances can irritate the skin and make people itchy,
At the same time, it will also make people's tongues tingle,
Feel the unbearable bitterness.
It can be said that in order not to be eaten,
Taro does not hesitate to turn itself into a "poison".
But unfortunately, Taro never expected,
In order to be able to taste the world's cuisine,
Humans have mastered fire!
Oxalic acid and other substances in taro,
Can be destroyed by washing and heating,
And the taro that lost its defensive weapon,
There is only one ending in the end -
Brought to the table by humans.
In fact, Chinese have a very long history of eating taro,
It is said that the earliest grains of the Asians were taro and yam,
So before eating rice,
Many Chinese may mainly survive on taro.
There are many types of taro,
Generally common are the northern polyplicum, the southern taro,
In addition, the polygonal taro abundant in Guangxi and Taiwan is also very good.
And taro proves with its own taste,
I am not just a coarse grain that fills my hunger,
Its powdery soft texture,
Conquered batch after batch of Chinese foodies,
You can enter both the folk canteen and the palace kitchen.
Remember the "Prime Minister Liu LuoGuo" that you watched when you were a child?
Inside, the Dish made the Qianlong Emperor eat the Lipu taro that he still wanted to eat,
At that time, Fei Li was crying.
It is said that in ancient times, there was a rule in the Qing Palace:
The emperor eats one dish, no more than three bites at most,
But when eating Lipu taro,
Many emperors are clamped and pinched, and they can't care about any rules.
In Dream of the Red Chamber,
Young boys and girls who like to eat and drink in daguanyuan,
Also a love for taro,
Taro cake, sugar taro, taro porridge,
Cabbage simmered taro, pork head meat stewed taro, etc.,
It's all extremely delicious and elegant food.
And because of its outstanding taste,
People's cooking of taro is also simpler and more diverse,
Whether it is steaming and frying, sweet or salty,
Can be made very delicious, so to speak,
Taro single-handedly unified the salty and sweet parties.
No wonder even the big foodie Su Dongpo praised it:
"The fragrance is like ambergris, still white, and the taste is more complete and clear like cow's milk."
But despite people's love of taro,
Sometimes they are "deceived" because of this,
For example, many people like taro,
When eating desserts, I like to order taro flavor,
But in fact, in the sweet potato dessert, there is no taro at all!
Taro is not actually taro,
It is a ginseng potato belonging to the family Diospyraceae,
Strictly speaking, the family belongs to the yam family.
So although Fei Li loves taro food,
But after knowing the truth, I was still a little shocked and regretful.
Taro button meat is one of the most common ways to eat,
After people lightly fried the taro,
With fried pork belly, a little curd,
Made into meat fragrant, oily but not greasy button meat,
It's a first-class meal.
And the Teochew people's anti-sand taro,
It has also been made one of the must-try taro eating methods by Mr. Cai Lan,
Teochew people heat and melt white sugar into syrup,
The syrup is evenly wrapped around the taro, and after a quick cooling,
The syrup turns into a white frost that is loose and sweet to eat.
And plucking silk is also one of the classic practices of taro,
Compared to pulling a sweet potato,
Plucking taro gives people a more intense aroma,
Softer texture on the palate,
It is a favorite of many young people.
Of course, taro can not only be used as a side dish,
Can also be used as a dessert,
Taro round snacks are today's popular food,
It is very popular in regions such as Guangdong, Fujian and Taiwan.
Besides
In some areas such as Yunnan and Fujian,
There is also a delicacy called taro flowers.
