Taro Cake - How to Make Dim Sum-style Taro Cake for Chinese New Year (芋头糕)

Taro cake! Always a favorite in Dim Sum, this is actually also a classic to make in Guangdong during the Chinese New Year.

There's a few different methods to make Taro cake - the most common outside of China seeming to be the 'paste' method, where the taro is cooked down and mashed into a paste. This is NOT that method - our preferred taro cake consists of chunks of taro, not a mash.
