The ingredients are ready. The most indispensable part of this delicacy is tapioca starch, which is very convenient and available on Taobao. I use the white shark brand, which tastes very good. Many friends ask if tapioca starch can be replaced with other flours. If you want Q Meimei does not recommend changing the texture of the bomb. Of course, if you use glutinous rice flour or the like, it can be successful, but the texture will be slightly different. Relatively speaking, the texture of sweet potato flour is the closest to tapioca starch.

Tips:
Sweet potatoes can also be replaced with pumpkins, and the color is also very beautiful. When making mashed sweet potatoes, put as little water as possible. Do not make too much water in the mashed sweet potatoes, so as not to add too much cassava flour and make the balls too hard. The steamed meatballs can be poured directly in the juice, or they can be boiled in the soup for a more delicious taste.
