Steam is extremely hot when placing into the steamer; be careful to avoid steam burns.

Place the mixed shreds into a lined container, spray with water, press firmly with gloved hands, and steam until cooked. Press firmly again while hot, let cool completely, and use a mold to press into round cakes.

warningStay safe

Hot oil may splatter slightly when dripping oil or flipping; maintain distance to avoid burns.

Preheat a pan over medium heat, wipe a thin layer of oil on the bottom with paper towel, place the shaped taro cakes, and drip a little oil from the edge. Pan-fry on medium heat while shaking the pan until moisture dries and bottom softens, flip and fry until both sides are golden, shiny, and crispy, then plate and serve.

Watch out

Use only a thin layer of oil, control medium heat and shake the pan, otherwise high heat will burn the outside before the inside heats through.
