glimmer Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I have just purchased my first ever Taro and yam bean (jicama) and have no idea what to do with either of them. The girl in the fruit and veg shop said to use the taro like potato and the yam bean like water chestnut Does that sound reasonable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 No clue about taro. I feel like I've had it in Hawaii, but no memory of how it was prepared. Jicama is great peeled, cut into sticks with a little chili powder, salt and lime. You can add cucumber and red bell peppers cut the same way for some great color. Some people cook jicama but I never have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadia B Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Taro is another starchy tuber. So treat it like potatoes = fries, chips or simply oven roast. Nomnom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glimmer Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 So I can eat the yam bean raw? Hmm I am making massaman curry prawns for dinner so might use the taro in that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
