Taro And Tapioca

Prepare the Taro

Peel and cube the taro root.

In a pot, add the taro cubes and enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Drain the taro and set aside.

Prepare the Tapioca

In a separate pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the tapioca pearls and cook according to package instructions, usually about 15-20 minutes, until they become translucent and tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Once cooked, drain the tapioca and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.

Combine and Cook

In a large bowl, combine the cooked taro, tapioca pearls, coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Mix well.

Transfer the mixture to a pot and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and the flavors are well combined, about 5-10 minutes.
