Steps:
- Mix cornstarch and water together in a large bowl until dissolved. Add soy sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoon sugar, and salt. Mix in chicken; cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator, about 15 minutes.
- Heat oil in a large saucepan or deep-fat fryer. Fry taro until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
- Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add shallots and ginger; cook and stir until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken; cook and stir until no longer pink, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Transfer chicken mixture to a large saucepan. Add fried taro. Pour in enough water to cover 3/4 of the mixture. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 15 minutes. Stir in coconut milk and basil. Season with salt and sugar.

BOILED TARO WITH COCONUT MILK
This is a very common way to prepare Taro, as a side to many Tongan dishes. You may need more than one can of unsweetened coconut milk to properly cover the taro. If you cannot find the unsweetened kind, you can used a couple of thawed packages of the unsweetened kind. Oftentimes, I will not even transfer the taro to a saucepan, but will instead keep it in a pot, and drain some of the water. Then I will pour in the coconut milk. Fijian taro (the green kind)is the yummiest, if you can get your hands on it ;)

Steps:
- Scrub the outside of the taro.
- Place in a pot with enough water to half cover the taro.
- Cover and boil for about 1 1/2 hours, or until tender. (Make sure the taro is cooked very well, for the starches can irritate and scratch the throat if not cooked through completely).
- Remove and cool.
- Peel away the outside skin and chop taro into large cubes. (Cooked taro at this point can be mashed and formed into cakes that are delicious sauteed with butter).
- Place the coconut milk and the taro cubes into a saucepan and heat thoroughly.
- There should be enough milk to just cover the taro.
- Taste during cooking to see if taro needs more salt.
