As far as I can tell (Jun throws me out of the kitchen if I ask too many
questions), She scrapes fresh Yucca (I think), boils the tapiocal until
it's the 'right' consistency, then drops spoonfuls of it in a hot oiled
wok, stir-frying 'til crispy on the bottom. It appears that I should treat
tapioca, like rice, as if it were sugar. ;-/
