Taro is a common ingredient in life. It looks similar to white potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams. They are all white inside, but the taste is very different from the above foods. Eating taro regularly is also very beneficial to your health, but eating it the same way can make you feel tired. Taro can actually be paired with many ingredients, such as lentils. So, how to cook lentils with taro?

Ingredients: 500 grams of lentils, 100 grams of edamame, 250 grams of taro, and one red and green chili pepper

Ingredients: oil, salt , light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, bean paste, and white sugar in appropriate amounts

Method:

1. Cut off the heads and tails of lentils and tear off the old tendons; peel off the shells of edamame (I bought Ready-made edamame rice); peel off the skin of taro, cut into hob pieces, remove seeds from pepper, wash all raw materials

2. Heat the oil pan, pour in all the raw materials and stir-fry until the water dries out After it is cooked through, add appropriate amount of salt, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and bean paste, add water to submerge the ingredients, cover the pot and cook

3. Cook over high heat until the soup is almost dry, add a little sugar and stir well. Take it out of the pan

A few more words:

1. When stir-frying, be sure to stir-fry until all moisture is gone. The main thing is to check that there is no mucus on the taro. Add more water to cook, otherwise the taro will not be cooked easily. ;

2. Taro must be cooked well when cooking, otherwise its mucus will irritate the throat;

3. Taro mucus has strong irritation to the skin and mucous membranes, so it should be peeled before peeling. When washing taro, the skin of your hands will be itchy, which can be relieved by roasting it on the fire. Therefore, it is best to wear gloves when peeling and washing taro or peel and cut it first before washing.
