Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Have a bag of tapioca flour ready. There are four kinds of taro balls to be made today, purple sweet potato, pumpkin, taro and tomato.

   

2. 2 Appropriate amount of pumpkin and appropriate amount of purple sweet potato.

   

3. 3 One tomato and appropriate amount of taro.

   

4. 4 Pumpkin and purple sweet potato are steamed and pureed with a blender.

   

5. 5 After the taro is steamed, puree it with a blender. Puree the tomatoes directly.

   

6. 6 Add an appropriate amount of tapioca flour to each of the four types of mud and knead into a ball. Don't add a lot at once, just add it little by little until it's no longer sticky.

   

7. 7 They are kneaded: pumpkin dough and purple sweet potato dough.

   

8. 8 They are kneaded: taro dough and tomato dough.

   

9. 9 Knead the four prepared doughs into thin strips on the chopping board and cut them into small pieces.

   

10. 10 These are the prepared pumpkin taro balls and purple potato taro balls.

    

11. 11 These are the prepared taro balls and tomato taro balls. The taro balls making process is over, now you can start cooking the taro balls!

    

12. 12 Prepare the ingredients for cooking taro balls, a box of turtle paste, appropriate amounts of lotus seeds, red beans, barley and longan.

    

13. 13 Put the lotus seeds, red beans, barley and longan into a pot of water and simmer for 3 hours. (Actually, I simmered these things in a water-proof stew before going to bed on the first night, and put the stewed ingredients in the refrigerator the next morning. When I started making taro balls in the afternoon of the second day, I just took these things out and used them.)

    

14. 14 Start cooking the taro balls: After the water in the pot boils, add the taro balls and cook until they float.

    

15. 15 It’s time to take it out of the pot and plate it! Ladle the lotus seeds and other ingredients stewed in a stew pot, turtle paste, and cooked taro balls into a bowl.

    

16. 16 Add the soup of stewed lotus seeds and other ingredients, and an appropriate amount of honey. Stir it up and it’s ready to eat!
