to avoid itch in cleaning takway…
DON’T WET IT… soaking them in water releases a chemical that can be found in this plants that causes itchy… And it will be more faster cause its not slimmy if dry…

To avoid itch in cooking takway and any parts of taro:

DON’T STIR….dont stir the takway or any taro until it is fully cook…. Stirring them makes taro dishes itchy…

when i’m cooking this i usually boiled takway in different pan without stirring… When is it cook, i drain it..
on another pan i saute garlic and onion. Then add the pork.. And bagoong… And cook takway… Add little amount of water, vinegar, soy sauce.. Season with pepper and salt.. Simmer until liquid reduces.. Serve with steam rice and fried fish… Sarap…

Hope my tips helps u guys… Happy cooking… Mabuhay mga pinoy..
