Tororo

(とろろ, Grated Yam)

Tororo is a unique Japanese side dish that can also be used as an ingredient when added to other dishes. It consists of grated yam and is rich in vitamins and minerals. Traditionally, tororo is combined with wasabi, dashi, or spring onions. It is often added to noodle dishes in order to improve the flavor of the dish.


Tororo is always served cold, and many people like to pour it over rice or salads, but it can also be consumed on its own, since it is very healthy. Its sticky, slimy texture is very appreciated in Japan because it is quite hydrating and acts as a refreshment, especially during the hot summer days.
