The must-eat list of Fujian dishes-Tai Chi taro mud is a traditional Han nationality dish in Fujian. The shape of this dish is like Tai Chi. The white taro mud and the brown bean paste are curved and coiled to create an interesting contrast. The red cherries seem to be the finishing touch to make the Tai Chi pattern full of dynamic and dynamic. Festive colors are lovely. Tai Chi taro mud is a festive beet with auspicious patterns, which is very suitable for festive family banquets or wedding birthday banquets. The actual operation is also very simple. After the steamed taro is peeled and ground into a puree, it is mixed with lard and sugar and then put into a basin. In Fuzhou this dish will be topped with a layer of cooked lard at the end. In order to seal the heat away, it won’t come out, but I didn’t use lard for my health, it felt too greasy. I like it so refreshing. There is an anecdote about the famous Tai Chi taro mud: in the 19th year of Qing Daoguang (1839 AD), when Lin Zexu went to Guangzhou as an imperial minister to ban a ban on smoking, the consuls of Britain, Germany, the United States, and Russia prepared Western food in order to taunt Chinese officials. Lin Zexu was "entered" at the summer mat in an attempt to make Lin Zexu make a fool of himself when he ate ice cream. Afterwards, Lin Zexu also set up a rich feast to "repay" these consuls. After a few cold dishes, I served a plate of dark gray and shiny, dark brown and smooth, like two fish lying in it, not steaming, like cold dishes. A foreign consul took a spoon and scooped it into his mouth. It was so hot that his eyes became straight and it was too late to vomit; he heard a "squeak" again, and saw the lips of the other consul also burned out. With the red "lace", the other guests were shocked. At this time, Lin Zexu stood up carelessly and introduced: "This is a famous dish in Fujian, China, called Tai Chi taro mud." Since then, the dish has become famous.
