I made some taro dessert (Or Nee / 芋泥) tonight.
This Teochew style dessert is easy to make and tastes sweet, creamy, and very good…
In Malaysia, Or Nee / 芋泥 is usually served plain. Sometimes, it’s topped with fried shallots while others come with gingko nuts.
I topped mine with some ground peanuts (for both aesthetic and flavor purposes).
If you don’t like ground peanuts, you can use cashew nuts instead…
If you would like to get a creamier, richer, and melt-in-your-mouth texture, then by all means, you should use lard instead of cooking oil.
Spring is finally here, so go to your garden and pluck off a flower or two and garnish your taro pudding.
Now, just sit back and enjoy this pleasing dessert.
Enjoy!
Note: Taro is also called Yam.

Or Nee
Ingredients
- 1 lb. taro, cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup cooking oil or lard
- 4 tablespoons sugar

Instructions
- Bring a small pot of water to boil and add the taro pieces and boil for 10 minutes or until the taro pieces are thoroughly cooked. Drain the water and set aside the taro and let cool.
