When mentioning Co Do (Can Tho City), locals will immediately think of the specialty dish of taro pickles. This land is famous for many delicious rustic dishes made from taro, including stir-fried frogs with sweet taro.
Sweet taro is a plant in the same family as mint but has a shorter and stronger stem, often grown next to canals. Sweet taro differs from water taro (also known as itchy taro) in that the top of the leaf has brown dots, the tip of the leaf is squashy and has a sweet taste. Sweet taro is often used to make many delicious dishes: salad, porridge, stir-fry...

Among them, the rustic stir-fried frog with sweet taro is very tasty, a typical delicacy of the suburbs of Co Do. This is also one of the specialties introduced to tourists when coming to Song Hau Farm Eco-Zone (Thoi Hung Commune, Co Do District).
Ms. Nguyen Kim Nhien, Deputy Manager of Song Hau Farm Eco-Zone, said: "In addition to the rustic experiences of the eco-zone, the cuisine here is very unique, all from homegrown ingredients and self-raised animals in the natural environment."
Stir-fried frog with taro is a delicious, easy-to-cook dish that cooks quickly. The frog is cleaned, deodorized, and cut into bite-sized pieces. Only the taro stem is used, the outer skin is removed, and the taro is sliced diagonally. When the frog is almost cooked, add the taro and stir-fry until cooked. This is a simple, delicious dish.
The meat of the field frog is firm, fresh and sweet, the taro is soft and has a mild sweet taste, you can eat it forever without getting bored. Nowadays, it is very difficult to find such rustic delicacies in the city center, and when coming to the Song Hau Farm Eco-Zone, visitors should try this specialty of the Co Do suburbs.
