Instructions

1. 1

   Peel and cut the taro into small cubes. Steam the taro until very soft.

2. 2

   While the taro is steaming, cook the crystal pearls according to package instructions until translucent and chewy. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking, then set aside.

3. 3

   Mash the steamed taro into a smooth paste.

4. 4

   In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, water, and salt. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Do not boil.

5. 5

   Add the mashed taro to the coconut milk mixture. Stir continuously until the mixture is well combined and thickens to a pudding-like consistency.

6. 6

   Pour the taro pudding into individual serving bowls or a large dish.

7. 7

   Evenly spoon the cooked crystal pearls over the taro pudding.

8. 8

   Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly set and cold.

9. 9

   Before serving, sprinkle crushed roasted peanuts generously over the chilled pudding.
