Pwede ba yung frozen cassava grated ang gamitin instead of fresh?
ReplyDeleteHi Ann, yes you can. Make sure defrosted all the way. Thats what i use too. Save me less time. Good luck
ReplyDeletewhere do you find the young coconut? pwede yong from the bottle and its sugarred ?
ReplyDeleteKailangan bang pigain pa ang cassava?
ReplyDeletePigain ang cassava? I would say yes para hindi watery after steaming and to remove the extra starch. Kahit one piga lang.
ReplyDeleteCoconut sa bottle if I am not mistaken is Macapuno, you can use that but make sure to rinse a little in running water or reduce the sugar unless you want it sweeter.
