Hsu's Shrimp and Pork Ball / Taro Cake Introduction
"The fragrance of taro comes from using quality taro," which is what the owner insists on. The first step in making taro cake is selecting high-quality taro. Then, shredded taro is mixed with sweet potato starch, rice milk, and seasoning, then placed in a steamer. Once steamed, it is topped with stir-fried minced pork, creating a uniquely flavored taro cake. The distinctive feature of shrimp meatballs lies in the skin, which is made from high-quality indigenous rice and sweet potato starch. The rice is soaked until soft, then ground into a paste and mixed with sweet potato flour to increase its chewy texture. The filling is made from fresh shrimp and finely cooked minced pork, resulting in a fragrant and chewy shrimp meatball.
