Central Island Round Trip--Nui


Nui...Kiribati language is the main language here.
People say English as well as Tuvalu language...We saw the taro farm everywhere. Crossed a beautiful lagoon is a islet covered with jungle, and the coconut crabs here are the best ever I've eaten!

18th fia fia cooking--[Central Island-Nui] Taro Soup (18/05/)


<<<To Eat is To Be Healthy>>>

           TODAY SPECIAL: Taro Soup (5-8 Servings)    

           RECIPE:

 

Ingredient
Condiment
500g taro
Salt
300g pork
Sugar
8-10 mushroom
Black & white pepper
3 cloves of garlic
Soy sauce
Spring onion
Corn flour
Carrot

Broth

   

 

 

 

 

 DIRECTION:

1.     Peel the taro, and cut into chunks.
2.     Cut the pork into strips, and marinate with 3 teaspoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, corn flour, and some sugar for 20 minutes.
3.     Soak the mushrooms into water for 15 minutes, and soak the bean noodles into water till becoming soft.
4.     Chop the garlic finely, cut the spring onion into sections, and cut the carrot and mushrooms into strips.
5.     Stir-fry the taro with hot oil till becoming a little bit golden brown. (The taros have to soak in the hot oil 80%, and the temperature of the oil about 180˚C.)
6.     Boil the broth. (Use the rice cooker to steam the chicken bones for 2 hours in advance.)
7.     Stir-fry the pork for a while, and add the garlic, mushrooms, and the stem of the spring onion, then add some soy sauce, put the taros into the wok, and pour the broth in.
8.     Boil the soup for 5-10 minutes, pour the bean noodles in, and add salt, sugar, and white pepper to taste.
9.     Add the leaves of spring onion before serving.

 

  For some reason we prepared pawpaw chicken salad, tuna fried eggs, and tuna fried ferns instead of taro soup. If you are interested in this dish, you can try it step by step. ^^










 

Central Island Round Trip--Vaitupu

Vaitupu...a island bigger than capital island Funafuti...
But the population of Vaitupu is around 1/6 of Funafuti's population... 
Coconut trees almost cover the whole island...
