Hsu's Shrimp and Pork Ball / Taro Cake Introduction
"The essence of taro is essential," as the owner insists, so the first step in making taro cake is to select high-quality taro. Then, shredded taro is mixed with sweet potato flour, rice milk, and seasonings before being placed in a steamer. Once steamed, it is topped with stir-fried minced pork, resulting in a uniquely flavored taro cake. The hallmark of shrimp meatballs lies in the skin, which is made from premium Japonica rice and sweet potato flour. The rice is first soaked to soften and then ground into a paste, blended with sweet potato flour to enhance its chewy texture; the filling consists of fresh shrimp and stir-fried minced pork, creating a delicious and chewy shrimp meatball.
