Peel the taro, removing just the skin and not too much of the flesh.

Cut the peeled taro into even-sized pieces for uniform cooking.

Place the cut taro in a pot and cover it with enough water.

Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

Once the taro is nearly cooked, remove some of the water from the pot.

Add chopped onions to the pot with the taro.

Pour in coconut cream once the onions start to soften.

Stir gently and serve with your favorite protein.
