Note on steaming taro
Steaming taro should use a steamer suitable for steaming taro, and make sure there is enough water at the bottom of the steamer. Distribute the taro pieces evenly on the steamer tray to avoid overlapping. Once you start steaming, adjust the heat appropriately to keep the water in the steamer pot at a boil. Too long a steaming time will result in overcooked taro, while too short a time will result in undercooked taro. It is best to check the doneness of the taro during the steaming process.
To prevent water vapor from entering the taro, try not to open the lid too often during the steaming process so that water vapor does not enter the steamer. If you need to check the doneness of the taro, you can use chopsticks to gently pierce the taro, if you can easily pierce it and there is no resistance, it means that the taro is already cooked. Remove the taro immediately after steaming to avoid oversteaming.
