　　Osmanthus-Glazed Taro Sprouts

　　Osmanthus-Glazed Taro Sprouts is a famous sweet dessert from Nanjing, prepared as follows

　　: select fresh taro sprouts, steam them until cooked, then peel them; mix with specially made osmanthus syrup and simmer slowly in a large pot. A bit of potassium carbonate should be added during cooking to give the taro a bright red, appealing color. When the taro is nearly soft and tender, add lotus root powder, which gives the dish a thick, rich appearance and a smooth, delicious texture—delicious to eat and leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth. Another step is adding sugar, with the amount adjusted to personal taste.
