Ingredients
- 200 grams Tapioca flour
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 300 milliliters Chicken broth (ensure soy-free)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 1 liter Water
- 100 milliliters Peanut sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chili sauce (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine tapioca flour and all-purpose flour.
Step 2
In a saucepan, bring chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat. Add minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
Step 3
Gradually add the hot broth to the flour mixture, mixing continuously with a wooden spoon until it forms a dough that can be handled.
Step 4
Allow the dough to cool slightly, then knead it on a floured surface until smooth and pliable.
Step 5
Divide the dough into small balls, approximately 2-3 cm in diameter.
Step 6
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently drop in the tapioca balls and cook for about 10 minutes or until they float to the surface and appear translucent.
Step 7
Remove the balls with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a steamer.
Step 8
Steam the balls over boiling water for an additional 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Step 9
Once cooked, transfer the steamed balls to a serving plate. Drizzle with peanut sauce and garnish with chopped cilantro.
Step 10
Serve warm with chili sauce on the side, if desired, for an extra kick.
