Tips:
1. Adjust the amount of rock sugar according to your preference. | 2. It is not necessary to rinse the tapioca. Soaking in warm water before wrapping can avoid over-expending. It can also prevent tapioca from becoming cooked on the outside but hard on the inside. | 3. Apart from red bean paste, you may use steamed sweet potato, pumpkin, yam or any fruit jam as filling.
