Taro and Bacon

Taro and Bacon

Overview

This steamed dish is purely named after the braised pork with pickled vegetables, which is actually steamed bacon and taro. Sliced taro slices and Hormel's classic American bacon slices are placed in a bowl and steamed, then inverted on a plate, and poured with a thin layer of gravy, which is refreshing and delicious. The reason why we choose Hormel's classic American bacon is because it is selected from pork belly ribs. It is fat and lean, fat but not greasy, and lean but not woody. Moreover, good bacon has a moderate saltiness. When paired with taro, the fat and salt in the bacon can be well penetrated into the taro, making it truly healthy, convenient and fast. Drizzled with a thin layer of gravy, the glutinous taro adds a touch of lubrication when eaten.
