Our homecooked Taro Duck (15 October 2016)
Taro Duck is a Teochew dish. The other day, we bought half a duck. My wife used half to make Kiam Chye Ak, and the other half, she used to make Taro Duck, or Ak Or. Although my wife's mother is Teochew, my wife learned to make this dish on her own, referencing various cookbooks and the web. In order to get the duck meat tender, it has to be cooked for a long time, but to prevent the taro from disintegrating, it has to be cooked separately and added only at the final stage of the cooking process.
