Abacus seeds is one of the most iconic Hakka dishes. Often eaten during festivals, they are made by mixing mashed yam and tapioca flour which are then shaped into tiny balls resembling the beads on an abacus.
This dish is also known for its lovely chewy texture and beautiful yam fragrance. Add more yam if you like it softer!
We tried to follow the traditional Hakka way of preparing this, which includes stir frying them with minced meat and mushroom. Fried beancurd is also added for that extra texture!
This is definitely a wonderful recipe for festive seasons and gatherings!
We used WMF's new NATURamic® high-tech ceramic, scratch resistant cookware to make this lovely dish. It's also non-porous, thus requiring less oil for your cooking while keeping the taste the same! To find out more, view their page here:- www.wmf.sg/natu...

Appreciate it! We're glad you enjoyed :)
This is my first attempt at making them. No idea what the end result will taste like because I have never tasted them before but I love it. Thank you for the recipe
one of many recipes i nv got the chance to learn from my grandma...
Thank you so much for cooking this 😍. I have been searching for good instructional video of this dish but all not clear. Really appreciate the effort you have put in =)
My taro after adding the tapioca and water was crumbly when rolled. Had a hard time making the abacus seeds. In the end gave up and just cut them. 🤪
My granny's signature dish! But she steams the dough instead and she also adds dried cuttlefish and lots of chinese parsley. So yummy! I think your tau gwa needs to be cut smaller.
I loved your kneading! And the whole works!!
This dish tastes super nice !
I like it ... To bad my house area never sell this dish but Thanks !
Will cook this dish .
thank you
Hi.. Ur recipe really easy to learn! Hope u can make one video on 饺子.. 😋
Thank you for this recipe. May I know how to choose yam? Some yam are not powdery.
can u make "Crispy Yam Ring with Kung Pao Chicken 佛砵宫保雞丁"?? ITS MY FAV food, hope to c the recipe soon :)
Hi! I made this dish on my channel, you can check it out if you like :)
another yam dish please... yam ring? :) Thanks!
I have a yam ring recipe over at my channel, feel free to check it out :)
用台灣芋圓代替可以嗎？
Thank you for this great video. The problem I had was the texture of the abacus is too springy or gluey. I was told it's not 100% tapioca flour. Any advise pls? Many thanks!
can't add water to the dough. only yam and tapoica flour/starch.
Probably the type of yam you used, white yam is gluey. Chinese purple yam is less gluey
Rice flour plus tapioca flour.
Hi, thanks for the video.
may i check whats the purpose of scoping out some of the minced meat to a different plate, and adding abacus seed into the wok with remaining minced meat?
we were making half a server of the abacus seed for the video, if you make the full amount you won,t have to do that.
theMEATMENchannel ok. Thanks
Hi, just checking if I can prepare the abacus seeds 3 to 4 days in advance and should I put into the fridge or freezer? The ingredients I will cook it on the day itself. Thanks
Yes you can!
🇺🇸🐙oh we don't get yams in my area, just potato or sweet potato...I see other people call these yams "taro" root...maybe I can find in a specialty market.?
Hey there! Taro's a good substitute :)
It’s not yam, it’s called taro root:)
So...taro is a yam?
Yes
Make mala :-)
为什么叫算盘子啊
算盘子是广东大埔县颇负盛名的客家菜。它是用煮熟的芋头加粉搓成一粒粒和按压成算盘的样子，然后汆烫再入锅快炒。它也是很多籍贯或不同客家枝派的年菜了，寓意年年有得算。
一定要用木薯粉吗？
so funny the name! abacus seed? xD
Lol. So not hakka.
