Recipe by TAGlicious

Ingredients

• 260g yam
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 60g tapioca starch

Steps:

1. Remove the skin of the yam.
2. Cut the yam into small pieces and steamed it for 30mins under high fire.
3. Mashed it finely when it is still hot.
4. Add in the sesame oil and salt and mix well.
5. While the mashed yam mixture is still hot/warm. Add in the tapioca flour gradually (depend on the yam water content) and form a soft smooth dough.
6. Roll them into small balls and press it using your fingers like a mini coins.
7. Boil a pot of water and cook them. When the abacus seeds float on the water, scoop it out and put them into a pot of cold water.
8. Set aside to stir fry later.

• For stir fry, you can add any personal preferred ingredients.
• For me, I love to have it with soaked dried mushrooms & black fungus, minced pork, prawns, dried shrimps, spring onions, minced garlic & seasoned it with oyster sauce and pepper.
