Yield: 2 to 3 serves
Ingredients:
- 300 gm taro, diced
- ½ cup tapioca pearls

- Soak tapioca pearls over 3 hours. Add to the boiling water on medium heat. Stir them frequently and make sure that they don’t stick together. After cooking for 20 minutes, remove the pot from heat, cover and let sit for another 30 minutes. The tapioca pearls should be translucent, without any white dots in the middle. They are done. If they are not ready, turn on the heat again and cook for a few minutes more. And then let sit for a while again.
- Drain tapioca pearls and rinse under cold water. All tapioca pearls should be cool to the touch.
