This recipe is part of my Tofu White Sauce series.

You can also steam the taro root in a steamer for 10-15 minutes. It tastes great if you add some mayonnaise while mashing. Since frozen soboro is crumbly, it's very convenient! Make a big batch and store it to use in various dishes. Recipe by kebeibiko

Steps

1

Scrub the taro roots with a scrubbing brush. Place in a heat-resistant container, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave at 600 W for 8-10 minutes. Let sit until cooled.
2

Meanwhile, make the White Sauce. (I say "make," but all you have to do is combine the ingredients.)
3

Place the Sake Lees and the milk in a heat-resistant container. Microwave using the "heat milk" function or set at 50°C. Stir together, add the remaining ☆ ingredients, then mix together until well integrated.
4

Peel the skin of the cooled taro root with your hands. This is the same preparation used when serving "kinukatsugi", which is taro root steamed and topped with sweet miso.
5

Put the peeled taro root into a bowl and use a fork to mash it up. Stir in the still frozen shio koji soboro.
6

Coat the sides of a heat-resistant container with oil or butter (not listed) and wipe with a paper towel. Separate Step 5 into 2 portions.
7

Top each portion with the white sauce from Step 3.
8

Top with cheese and place in the toaster-oven until nicely browned. Then, it's done.
