- Stir in tapioca flour and stevia.
- Stir in hot water. Using your hands, knead mixture into a dough. Then, shape the dough into little round balls. After all the dough is used up, lightly dust the taro balls with some tapioca flour. Get rid of excess tapioca flour using a sieve.
- Prepare an ice bath.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add taro balls and cook for 1 minute or until they float. Drain and transfer to ice bath immediately. Drain again and the taro balls are ready for use.
