Taro Ball Dessert

A popular Taiwanese dessert made from taro root, sweet potato, and glutinous rice flour, served in a sweet syrup.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Steam the taro and sweet potato until soft, about 15 minutes.
Mash the taro and sweet potato separately, then mix each with 1 cup of the glutinous rice flour and 1/2 cup of water to form a dough.
Roll the dough into small balls and set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add the taro and sweet potato balls. Cook until they float to the surface, then continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
In a separate pot, dissolve the brown sugar in 2 cups of water to create a syrup.
Drain the cooked taro and sweet potato balls and add them to the syrup.
Serve the taro ball dessert hot or cold.
