longer. Add the cornstarch mix & stir til thickened. Pour into the warm Taro Nest and serve at once. TARO NEST: Peel the taro root and slice into thin slices. Using a razor-sharp knife or slicing cleaver, finely julienne. The shreds of taro should look like straw potatoes. Pour enough peanut oil into a large, heated wok to deep-fry the taro. Heat to 350 F, using a deep-fat thermometer. Dip a skimmer basket or bird's nest in the hot oil to prevent the shreds of taro from sticking to it when they deep-fry. Layer the inside of the basket with the julienned taro. If using the skimmer basket, place a metal bowl on top to hold taro in place. Gently lower the basket into the hot oil & deep-fry until the taro turns golden brown. Remove the basket and take off the metal bowl. Use a long-tined fork to loosen the taro nest. Carefully lift from basket & drain of paper towels. Sprinkle lightly w/salt and keep warm in low oven, if necessary.
