Taro balls and roasted grass jelly

Overview

Taro balls and roasted grass jelly is a traditional dessert in Taiwan. It is soft, chewy, and delicious. It was very expensive to buy outside, so I made it myself. The grass jelly is made from grass jelly powder, a specialty of Guangdong. Now is the pumpkin season, so the taro balls are made from pumpkin. (PS: It’s not taro season now, so it’s not that delicious.)
