Taro Root and Glutinous Rice in Coconut Milk

Both taro root and glutinous rice have a starchy consistency, which serves as a base for many desserts and tapiocas. Glutinous rice is like a sweet rice flour made from short-grain rice. It becomes moist and sticky when cooked, creating a chewy texture that makes it great as a base for Vietnamese desserts and snacks like che. If my family is cooking taro root for dinner, a few extra roots will always be purchased to make che in the morning to serve hot for breakfast.
