Preparation

• Peel the taro. Trim the ends and sides of taro to make a rectangular block, then slice about 2 or 3 cm thick.
• Stack the slices and cut into sticks 2 cm wide (just a tad bigger than that of the pommes Pont Neuf).
• Deep-fried with pre-heated oil to golden in color and make sure it is well-done.
• Remove the taro and the oil from the wok. Add white sugar and a little water.
• Cook the syrup slowly until the surface of the liquid bubbles. Add the fried taro.
• Remove the wok from the fire immediately. Switch on a fan in full gear and stir the taro in the liquid in the wind.
• Which way the wind blow does matter in this case: blow to the taro so the syrup can solidify during the stir-frying.
