Yunnan mountain taro: one taro, a hundred flavors, warming every meal.【Diān xī xiǎo gē】

The mountains of Yunnan are truly amazing. Even on high, dry slopes, they can grow fragrant, soft, and sticky taro. Unlike taro planted in paddy fields, mountain taro is no longer irrigated once the tubers begin to form. As the soil slowly dries out, the taro plant draws on its own moisture to nourish the young taros, making them soft, floury, and sweet. That is why it is called “milk taro.”
The best way to enjoy it is simply steamed or roasted, but it is also wonderful in soups or stir-fries. One taro can become a hundred flavors, and every way of eating it is delicious. Today, we had both sweet and savory versions.

Hello, everyone! I am Dianxi Xiaoge, a Yunnan native.
