I love this food.. And all taro dishes…. its so hard to clean but its really really yummy…

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..

correction: I mean skin rashes, not skin rashing. Sorry for the mistake.

Takway caused me itching/skin rashing right after I was done scrapping the skin. I was heading to the bathroom when my hands and arms were itching big time! Even washing will not help. What I did was to put some efficascent oil and it worked. To all those who will be preparing takway, please be careful!

Takway, is that the Ilonggo term for “tampulong”? I know they are abundant this time of the year—there in the Philippines. Mother used to make tampulong salad without the itch. Oh, how they grow along with the wild mushrooms; wrapped and steamed in dahong saging; eaten with hot rice and pritong galunggong!!! Waaaah, homesick na naman ako!!!

ooh! we call it daludal in Ilocano and it is most often cooked with dried fish and bagoong balayan. Serious rice fest!
