Candied Deep Fried Taro Bites
26. Candied Taro Bites (Ba Si Yu Tou 拔丝芋头)
There’s no better way to describe these bite sized pieces of sweet deep fried taro than utterly delicious.
Small pieces of taro are battered in something similar to caramel and then deep fried. They arrive at your table piping hot – the caramel still melting.
They are so hot and sticky that you actually have to dip them into cold water (bottom left) so you don’t leave caramel strings all over the place!
These are good, real good. – no surprise that Ba Si Yu Tou is a one of the very popular Chinese dishes!
我没有更好的方式来描述这些一片片的油炸芋头,只能说它是绝对的美味。
小片的芋头放进糖汁里翻炒,然后再油炸。它们上到你的桌上时是滚烫的——糖汁还没凝固。
它们又热又粘,你必须把它们浸入冷水中(左下),以免把糖丝拉得到处都是。
很好吃,真正的好吃。——难怪拔丝芋头会是中国名声远扬的美食之一!
