How to Make Bua Loi Phuak Taro Balls In Coconut Cream

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup rice flour and ½ cup cornstarch.
  2. Add 1 cup mashed taro and knead until well combined.
  3. Gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  4. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and set aside.
  5. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups coconut milk, ½ cup packed palm sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Over medium-low heat, stir the coconut milk mixture constantly until the palm sugar dissolves completely and the mixture simmers gently.
  7. Gently add the taro balls to the simmering coconut milk.
  8. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the taro balls are cooked through and float to the surface.
  9. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
  10. Optional: Garnish with toasted sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
