Taro puree 芋头酪

【Taro puree】
by MaomaoMom

I always have a box of dates handy at home. My family loves dates. I always put in a few of them in the multi-grain congee that I make every day. Dates are high in fiber, low in fat, high in simple carbohydrates, and they don’t contain cholesterol. This Saturaday moring I made this Taro puree with DJ13U-D08SG Soy Machine for breakfast, of course with a few dates in. You got to try this puree recipe, not only for its yummy taste but all health benefits.

Prepare Time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 25minutes
Level: low
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients:

1) 360g fresh taro (270g peeled);
2) 1/4 cup sweet rice (50g);
3) 5 large dates;
4) 3.5 cups cold water;
5) 2 tbsp ground almond;
6) Honey or sugar if needed.

Directions:

1: Rinse sweet rice and soak with 1 cup cold water for 2 hours (Picture 1). Sweet rice can be soaked overnigh.

2: I bought dates from Costco (Picture 2). Remove pits of dates and set aside (Picture 3).

3: Peel the taro (Picture 4) and dice. Pour the soaked sweet rice with water into the soy milk machine. Add diced taro (Picture 4), pitted dates, ground almonds and 2.5 cups cold water.

4: Cover the soy milk machine with lid and press “Select” button to select “Rice paste” program. Then press “start” button (Picture 5). It takes about 25 minutes to finish the program.

5: When the program is complete, you will hear the beeping sound. Unplug the soy milk machine and slowly open the lid.

6: Carefully pour the puree into four serving bowls. Add 1 tbsp honey or sugar to taste, but honey or sugar is optional if desired.
