Hsu's Shrimp and Pork Balls/Taro Rice Cakes Introduction
"The deliciousness of taro comes from the quality of the taro," is what the owner insists on. Therefore, the first step in making taro cakes is selecting high-quality taro. The shredded taro is mixed with sweet potato flour, rice milk, and seasonings before being placed in a steaming basket. Once steamed, it is topped with stir-fried minced meat, resulting in a uniquely flavored taro cake. The characteristic of the shrimp and meat balls lies in the skin made from high-quality indigenous rice and sweet potato flour. The rice is soaked until soft, then ground into a paste and mixed with sweet potato flour to enhance its chewiness. The filling is made from fresh shrimp and stir-fried minced meat, creating a fragrant and chewy shrimp and meat ball.
