  5. Add tapioca starch and sweet potato starch. The ratio of taro, tapioca starch and sweet potato starch is 3:1:1. Mix the three ingredients evenly to form a taro paste starch dough, and mix until it is no longer sticky to your hands.

  8. Starch dough is not as tough as flour dough and is not suitable for rolling out with a rolling pin. Just use your hands. Take a small dose, flatten it with your hands, press it gently with your hands, press it a few times, and it's done. After spreading the small potion into dough, I also used a mold to press out the uneven edges around it.

  12. At the same time, I also DIYed my own purple sweet potato version of taro dumplings. Just replace the taro with purple sweet potato, and the other steps are exactly the same. (Since the method of making taro dumpling wrappers is the same as that of taro balls, and since taro balls can be made from different materials such as taro, purple potato, and sweet potato, taro dumpling wrappers can also be made from various taro balls, so I made purple potato taro dumplings.)
