Personal notes/温馨小贴士:

– you can adjust the quantity accordingly. just note that the proportion of steam yam to tapioca flour is 2:1
食材可随意调整。芋头泥对木薯粉的比例为 2:1

– you can prepare the abacus seeds in advance. after boiling, oil and cool the abacus seeds (per instructions), then store in ziplock bag and freeze
