Tips:

/Taro/
1. The state of the taro ball dough should be non-sticky. When the dough is too dry, add some hot water to adjust it, and add a little tapioca flour to adjust it if it is wet.
2. Different brands of cassava flour and different varieties of potatoes have different water absorption. In order to prevent the dough from being too wet and causing failure, the amount of water needs to be added several times in small amounts.
3. The cooked taro balls must be cold water, preferably ice water, not lazy. The freshly cooked taro balls will be very soft and have a bad taste. Too cold water can make the taro balls chewy.
