Ingredients:-2 large cassava
-1/2 cup sugar (approx., to taste)
-pinch of salt
-grated coconut
What to Do:
Peel cassava and cut into 1 inch pieces. Soak cassava in water for at least 1 hour, before steaming over high heat for about 30 mins or until knife tender. Break cassava into small bite size pieces and toss with sugar, salt and coconut.
Note:
Cassava contains a natural poison (hydrocyanic acid) and thus cannot be consumed raw cassava. Make sure the cassava is fully cooked before consuming.

hi, i was wondering if you can point me in the right direction. i am looking for a cassava cake recipe, i used to buy this cake in viet stores in san jose area (CA). it looks like this http://aprilisa.multiply.com/recipes/item/86 but this one uses fermented cassava. i bought some fresh cassava and wanna try making the viet style, but can't find a decent/right recipe. thanks so much. i like your site and your recipes, hope to try some soon.
kbelle,
what do you mean by "decent" recipe?
The cake you're referring to is bánh khoai mì nướng. There are 2 versions of this cake one with mung beans added and one w/out. Basically just a mixture of grated cassava, coconut milk, sugar, mung beans (optional), sweetened condense milk, butter, and eggs that is then baked. For a actual recipe please post a request in one of the forums I visit, more info: http://pwmf.blogspot.com/2006/10/its-been-year.html
If you read vietnamese there's probably a recipe already posted in the datviet forum that you can try out.
If you're like me, you can experiment and create your own recipe... You do have a head start, you know the ingredients already...why not play with your food?
hi, do you know what the items in the link (here: http://www.rawbw.com/~nani/cassava/) are? i took the photos on a visit to southern california but i couldnt speak with the lady in the photo. i think they are some kind of cassava thing. do you know the name of the snack and do you have a recipe or a link to a recipe? thanks! theyre so delicious!
melonpan,
it looks like banh cay (grated cassava, turmeric and/or curry, green onions, salt and deep fried).
