Dim Sum Taro cake

Taro-Kuchen 芋頭糕

Taro cake (traditional Chinese: 芋頭糕; simplified Chinese: 芋头糕; Pinyin: yùtóu gāo; Cantonese Yale: wuhtáu gōu) is a Cantonese dim sum dish made from the root vegetable taro. Taro cake has a denser texture than radish cake, with both dishes sharing rice flour as their main ingredient. Typically, it is cut into rectangular slices and pan-fried before serving. Often, pork mince, Chinese sausage, dried shrimp, or shiitake mushrooms are added during cooking. It is usually served with chopped spring onions.

Taro is a root vegetable that is grown in many parts of the world and is popular in Asian cuisine. It has a brown, knobby outer skin and a white, starchy interior. Taro is packed with important nutrients such as fiber, potassium, vitamin C, vitamin B6, and iron. It is also valued for its ability to regulate blood sugar, lower blood pressure, and improve digestion.

The taro cakes are traditionally made by mixing rice flour and taro root into a smooth dough. The dough is then mixed with other ingredients like pork mince, Chinese sausage, dried shrimp, or shiitake mushrooms and poured into a rectangular mold. The cakes are then pan-fried until golden brown and crispy.
