What are taro balls?
Taro ball is a traditional dessert in Fujian and Taiwan. It is steamed with taro and pressed into a puree, mixed with tapioca flour and water to form a dough, rolled into strips and cut into small pieces, and boiled in boiling water until it floats. Remove and serve taro balls. Similar foods include mung bean balls with mung bean paste instead of taro paste. Both are one of the famous snacks in Jiufen, Taiwan.
In Taiwan and Fujian, many desserts, such as bean curd and shaved ice, can be eaten with taro balls. A common famous brand chain store has fresh taro fairy.
What should I do if I have no time to travel, but drool and swell over the snacks everywhere?
I can only turn to the omnipotent network, study hard, and do it myself at home.
When I bought flour a while ago, I brought a bag of cassava flour back. It is said that the best way to make taro balls is to use this kind of cassava flour. And taro balls are generally made from taro, sweet potato, and purple potato, but taro is not easy to buy here, so I used purple potato and pumpkin to make it.

Red Bean Taro Balls

1. The red beans do not need to be soaked. Just add a lot of water and cook them softly in a pressure cooker. When the time is over, add rock sugar while it's hot, and stir until the rock sugar melts.

2. Steam the pumpkin and purple sweet potato for 20 minutes.

3. Divide the cassava flour into two portions.
Add pumpkin puree to one portion and add 40 grams of powder.
Add purple sweet potato mash for one serving and add 60 grams of powder.

4. Knead two portions of dough into a dough.

5. Knead them into strips, dice them, and coat them with a layer of cassava flour without sticking.

6. Add 1L of water to the health pot, use the "boil" function to boil until the water is boiled, put the balls into each, and use the "boil" program three times to boil until the balls float.

7. After removing the balls, immediately throw them into ice water and soak them for about 30 seconds to remove them.

8. Add whipped cream and sugar to the milk, use half a "boil" function, boil until the milk is slightly hot, and stir until the sugar melts.

9. Pour the liquid on top of the taro balls, add two spoonfuls of honey beans, and top with condensed milk before serving.

Tips:
1. Pumpkin puree has a large moisture content, so it needs less powder; purple sweet potato has no moisture after steaming, so you need to add a little less water when making noodles.
2. The taro balls should be eaten and cooked. If you can't finish them, you can divide them into two portions and freeze them for storage, not overnight.
3. Put the taro balls in ice water immediately after they are cooked, which will increase the degree of Q-bomb.
