Chestnut and Taro Rice

Chestnut and Taro Rice
Absolutely delicious! The chestnuts are fragrant, the taro is soft and powdery, and combined with sausage, pork belly, and garlic leaves, it creates a rich layering of flavors that is simply mouthwatering!

Materials

Taro Half a piece
Chestnuts 250 grams
Rice 1 cup
Light Soy Sauce 1 tablespoon
Dark Soy Sauce Half a tablespoon
Salt To taste
Pork Belly 100 grams
Sausage 1 piece
Garlic Leaves 2 stalks

How To Make

  1. Peel the chestnuts, using small cone-shaped ones. If you have flat chestnuts, cut them in half (this helps them cook evenly when stir-fried). Peel and chop the taro into small pieces.

  2. Heat some oil in a pan, then add the chestnuts and taro for stir-frying. Some recipes suggest deep-frying, but I find it too oil-consuming; stir-frying gives a similar taste.

  3. Stir-fry over medium-low heat until both sides are golden brown. You can taste a chestnut to see if it's cooked; when it's soft, it's ready. Check the taro with chopsticks; if they slide in easily, it's done. Remove and set aside.
