CHINESE COOKING: This is a nice snack that is traditionally served at Chinese New Year's family gatherings. Hope you'll give it a try.

TARO BALLS芋蝦:

 

 

 

2 lb. taro, peeled and grated

2/3 tsp. salt

seasoning ingredients:

   1/2 tsp. sugar

   2 tbsp. good rice wine

   dash of white pepper

oil for deep frying

 

 

 

Add salt into grated taro and marinate for 15 minutes until softened. Add in seasoning ingredients.

 

Heat enough oil for deep-frying in wok or large non-stick saucepan until hot and tested ready. Use a 1/4 cup-size measuring cup to scoop up taro, then gently release content into hot oil. Make "balls" with rest of grated taro. Deep fry, flipping taro balls over once to cook evenly, until golden brown & crispy. Scoop up balls with a large strainer and drain on paper towels. Serve right away.
