Braised Taro With Dried Shrimps

Taro is a root veggie that my family loves.  I will normally braised them with dried shrimps or with red fermented beancurd ( nam yue ) and pork belly . Or at times  , I cook them in soup orstir fry with baby  'kai lan ' . No matter how you cook them, they will turn out great. A versatile dish that most people loves .  Restaurant chefs can whip up great taro dishes and each time you ask them ..any new dishes and they will always have a new taro dish available .   Like taro in noodles , anyone ???  :p  I shall try that one one day . Taro can be cooked savoury or sweet . Either way ,it is good to eat  :)
