Recipe Description
This is a nostalgic dish as everyone seems to remember their own mothers’ version of it. Choose tapioca which are fresh, parts of it not already cut and preferably not too old and husky. The yellow tapioca is not suitable for the recipe, so be sure to choose the white ones. They have a softer and cottony texture.
