CAMBODIA: Taro Dessert

From our old pal Oudam  — his wife kindly suggested a few blistering Cambodian recipes and I ended up choosing this.

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 a large taro or 1 small taro
2- 5.6 ounce cans of coconut milk
1 cup of sticky rice 
1 teaspoon of salt 
4 cups of water (or enough to cover your taro chunks) 
1 cup of Palm or white sugar (can be adjusted to taste) 

DIRECTIONS:

Cut you taro into 2 inch chucks, wash them and put them aside. Boil 4 cups of water then add the taro and sticky rice — let it boil for 5-10 minutes. Add the coconut milk and simmer for 5 minutes. Finally add salt and sugar and simmer until the taro is softened. Enjoy!
