I tried these and they were delicious. The first ones turned out a little bit ugly, but once I got the hang of making sure that the dough was the right consistency, they started to look as beautiful as those in the picture. So…don’t give up!

I was so excited to try this and went out of my way to find the ingredients. Didn’t work at all no matter how hard I tried I could not form the dumplings. With less water the mixture didn’t stick and with a little more they just fell completely apart. Disappointing.

That must have been my problem — I added it a little at a time but didn’t stop before I made it to 1.25. I guess I figured it’d firm up as I kneaded. Thanks for the quick response! I’ll definitely use this knowledge next time.

did you add the water a little at a time? depending on the brand and size of tapioca pearls you use, you may need less or more boiling water. You need to add the boiling water to the tapioca a little at a time till it forms a mass.

I love this idea but 1 1/4 cups of water left me with soggy porridge that I couldn’t form into balls. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I have to learn how to make this.
There used to be this Thai market in Las Vegas and they would sell them there.
Now they’ve shut down, I can’t find it anywhere!!! UGH!!!
Thanks for posting this. I can’t find the recipe anywhere else on the internet.
