Ingredients 1 Yam 150g dried prawns 10 pcs Shiite mushroom 1 tablespoon minced garlic 2 1/2 rice bowls rice flour 1/2 rice bowls sweet potato flour 6 rice bowls water 2 teaspoon five-spice powder 1 1/2 teaspoon salt Method To make the wu tau koh, it is best to use shredded yam instead of cubed ones.
