Instructions

1. 1

   Heat cooking oil in a wok or deep pot over medium-high heat. Fry taro chunks until lightly golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.

   Add oil to the same pot (if needed). Sauté minced garlic and ginger slices until fragrant. Add mashed fermented red bean curd and stir-fry for 1 minute.

3. 3

   Return the fried taro to the pot. Add green beans and soaked dried bean curd sticks (if using). Pour in vegetable broth, light soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper. Bring to a boil.

4. 4

   Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until taro is very tender and green beans are cooked to your desired tenderness.

5. 5

   Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Serve hot with steamed rice.
