Tapioca

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Gluey

    Step 1

    It’s overcooked. And, unfortunately, it can’t be unglued. (Perhaps you were planning to put up some wallpaper?) Next time, stop cooking short of the consistency you want, as it will set more as it cools.

  2. Won’t thicken

    Step 2

    Old tapioca won’t thicken. If you’ve used it to try to thicken something like a pie filling, you’ll have a loose (though still delicious) pie. If it’s a pudding, you can add some arrowroot or some cooked rice and an egg and whisk constantly over low heat.
