Guilin Lipu Taro - A Legendary and Delicious Ingredient

Guilin Lipu taro is a legendary star in the world of ingredients. It is plump and large, with a rough outer skin that exudes the simplicity of the soil. When you peel off the outer skin, the inside is white and delicate taro flesh. The taste of Lipu taro is unique. After being steamed or boiled, it is soft, glutinous, sweet, and has a powdery texture like fine quicksand. In Guilin, Lipu taro is often used to make various delicious dishes. Lipu Taro and Braised Pork is a classic among classics. The streaky pork with fat and lean parts becomes golden and crispy after frying. It is stacked alternately with the steamed Lipu taro slices and then steamed slowly in a steamer. During this process, the oil of the streaky pork slowly seeps into the taro slices. The taro slices absorb the meaty fragrance, and the streaky pork also gains the aroma of taro. The combination of the two makes the salty - savory flavor and the sweet flavor interweave. Take a bite, and the soft - glutinous and firm textures blend wonderfully, making people unable to stop. In addition, Lipu taro can also be boiled into sweet and smooth taro puree and used to make desserts. Every bite is full of sweetness and satisfaction, fully demonstrating the unique charm of Lipu taro.
