Boiled Taro and Crab

A combination of boiled taro and crabmeat is needed to prepare this traditional aboriginal Taiwanese dish. It is a classic specialty of the Yami people, who inhabit Lanyu or Orchid Island. These indigenous peoples' diet is based on taro, especially wetland taro, millet, and yams, as well as different types of fish and seafood such as flying fish, octopus, and crabs.
