Bua Loi Phuak

Description
A scrumptious Thai dessert that I can't resist, I first tried this in my favorite Thai restaurant. It never gets old!



Ingredients

 * 1 cup cooked taro root, mashed
 * 2 cups glutinous-rice flour
 * 1 cup cornstarch
 * 4 cups coconut milk
 * 1 cup palm sugar (can use cane or beet sugar)
 * 1/8 teaspoon salt
 * 6-8 teaspoons water

Directions
Put the rice flour and cornstarch in a bowl. Add the mashed taro and knead to a soft dough. Knead well. Roll into little balls and set aside. Dissolve the palm sugar and salt in the coconut milk over low heat, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil and add the taro balls. When they are cooked through, remove from the heat. Serve hot.
