Coconut Taro Balls

1.Cassava flour is a starch extracted from the roots of cassava. Cassava is one of the three major potato types in the world and is mainly grown in tropical and subtropical regions. In the southern subtropical region of my country, cassava is the fifth largest crop after rice, sweet potato, sugar cane and corn. Tapioca flour is used to make sago and golden cake.2. Lipu taro (fragrant taro) should be as big as possible. Generally, the larger the taro, the more waxy it will be. If you buy taro that is not glutinous, you will find that it is hard to steam, so you need to choose an excellent taro~3. There are two types of sweet potato: yellow heart and white heart. The yellow heart is generally used to make sweet potato balls. This kind of sweet potato has high water and sugar content, and the color is also beautiful. Most yellow-hearted sweet potatoes have a khaki-yellow skin, and white-hearted sweet potatoes have a red skin, but there are also sweet potatoes that do not follow this rule. Please pay attention to it when you buy it~ (White-heart sweet potatoes have high starch content and are used to make sweet potatoes vermicelli etc.).4. If you don’t like coconut milk, you can replace it with brown sugar ginger juice, or red bean soup (add more water when cooking red beans).

How to make coconut taro balls

Step1

Soak the red beans overnight in advance, drain the water and put them in a casserole, add in sugar and water (the water is about 1 and a half knuckles higher than the red beans); turn to low heat and simmer for 40-50 minutes.

Step7

When kneading the dough, the amount of water added is not fixed, because the steaming method is different, the water content of sweet potatoes, taro, and purple potatoes are also different. Water can be added to the dough little by little, as long as it can be kneaded into a ball without cracking. . (Don’t knead the dough too soft, otherwise the taro balls will expand greatly when they are cooked).

When kneading the dough,

Step8

Sprinkle a little tapioca flour on the chopping board to prevent sticking, use a kitchen knife to help shape it into a square, about 0.7cm thick. (You can also rub into long strips and cut into small pieces, but the long strips are easier to split, so you need to add a little more water).
