Sweet Tapioca Balls- Chè Xôi Nước

Secret dessert! Secret dessert!

Check out the texture of these balls! :D

What are inside these balls? And what's that on the outside?

This is chè xôi nước. It's like dumpling balls in a lightly sweetened ginger syrup. Inside these balls is mashed mung bean, and on the outside are tiny tapioca pearls.

The tiny tapioca pearls are mixed with some water first to make a paste, and then form into a shell of tapioca. This creates a very good chewy texture to it, as opposed to making the shell with normal glutinous flour (See second picture).
