In reply to Lin. 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.

Hi, i try your recipe and fall in love making them. I love eating them and got addicted .haha
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

In reply to Kelsey. No. There is no good way of storing boiled balls. I am sorry.

Hi! these were so much fun to make, but I didn’t know that you could freeze them so I boiled them all…I cannot finish them all. Is there a way that I can store them once the balls are already boiled?

In reply to Jeanette. 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.
