Jerusalem Artichokes stir-fried with chicken and fermented beancurd - Jerusalem Artichokes from Kenny's garden

Kenny's harvest of Jerusalem Artichokes have been put to various culinary creations!

 

Raw, they taste slightly sweet and crunchy, with a bit of astringency in the skin. I though it tasted like a Chinese bulb vegetable called 芽菇 Ngagu in Cantonese, and so decided to make a stir-fry with chicken (more typically pork) and fermented bean curd. The results weren't bad, with the skin and outer layers retaining a firm, almost crunchy texture, while the center became sweet and floury. Very similar to ngagu.
