A must-eat list of Fujian cuisine-Taiji taro paste. Taro has always been a dish on the plate. Tai Chi taro paste is one of the traditional sweets of Fujian cuisine, which is very popular in Fuzhou every auspicious time. It is famous for an anecdote: in the 19th year of Daoguang (AD 1839), when Lin Zexu went to Guangzhou as an imperial envoy to ban smoking, the consuls of Britain, Germany, the United States, Russia and other countries prepared western-style summer sleeping mats to entertain Lin Zexu, in an attempt to make Lin Zexu make a fool of himself while eating ice cream. Afterwards, Lin Zexu also hosted a banquet in honor of these consuls. After several cold dishes, a plate is dark gray and shiny, dark brown and smooth, like two fish lying on it, without steaming, like a cold dish. A foreign consul picked up a spoon and scooped up a spoonful. No sooner had he delivered it to his mouth than his eyes were too hot to spit it out. There was another creaking sound. I saw another consul's lips burn a circle of red lace, which shocked other guests. At this moment, Lin Zexu casually stood up and introduced: This is a famous dish in Fujian, China, and it is called Taiji taro. Since then, the name of this dish has become famous.
Taro is sweet in taste and flat in nature, and has the effects of eliminating dysentery, resolving hard mass, invigorating qi and kidney, and tonifying deficiency and strain. People with weak constitution have a certain nourishing effect. Lard is used more in vegetables, so it is not suitable for the elderly to eat more. This dish is shaped like Tai Chi. White taro paste and brown bean paste are intertwined and interesting to each other. The red and green cherries make the pattern full of vitality and festive colors, which seems to be the finishing touch, making people fondle it.
