No. They create different texture.

Lin,
If you want to keep them for a longer time, shape all the small pearls and then coat with extra starch (to avoid sticky) and then place in air-tight bag. Freeze to store and cook them directly for next serving.

Very good n delicious especially in winter..serve with hot ginger syrup,tea and the sweet potato balls.

So i bought many packets of tapioca starch,
So may i know if it is good to make a lot of the sweet potato balls ..coat with the flour .
Or just make a Big dough n store ..what is best..

Hope someone can advise. I miss these childhood desserts.thank you

No. There is no good way of storing boiled balls. I am sorry.

Is there a way that I can store them once the balls are already boiled?

Yes, tapioca starch preforms the best.

Jeanette,
If you plan to make some decorations or adding to your milk tea, tofu pudding or other drinks, glutinous rice flour can work. But the texture is not exact the same as sweet potato starch or tapioca starch.
