4

Add the tapioca starch and make a well. Pour the boiling water into it. Set aside for 30 second so that part of the starch is gelatinize. Stir well.

Rub it on the table until it become a smooth dough. Add a bit of water or tapioca starch if it is too dry or too wet.

Cut the dough into 1.5cm dice. Put the dice into tapioca starch to make sure that they won't stick with each other.

Repeat step 2 to 6 for the sweet potatoes.
