Tapioca Starch: Cassava at Your Service. WTF - Ep. 192

Tapioca Starch is most likely already present in your pantry, but did you know that there are many varieties of tapioca starch? In addition to the pantry staple, there are many types of modified tapioca starch that can enhance gluten free goods, provide superior thickening power, and even turn oils into powders. Scott and Janie tackle this sticky array of tapiocas and share our recipe for a classic Laotian chicken noodle soup... in this week's WTF

How much modified starch do you use in with the noodles?

[melissastewart]

I am having a hard time finding the recipe for the noodles as there is no search bar on the website

I use it for vegan cheeses, didn't think of using it for noodles. The noodles look great.

Polvilho doce ("sweet" cassava starch)
Polvilho azedo (sour or fermented cassava starch)
Those are the main ones. That's how you make cheese buns, with half of each, plus milk, butter, egg and cheese. Also, "tapioca" is the pancake you make with the starch, no one here in south america calls the starch "tapioca".

I was eager to see this tapioca episode.... but this is not a tapioca recipe it is "I used the tapioca off camera, look how it came out" and then there is soup 🙂
