Stir fry abacus seed with beef

First time making abacus seeds from scratch as my #2 says he want to eat after seeing it on a food variety show. So my grandma bought a yam with the mindset to make it for him. But honestly neither of us had made this before! 😂😂

So after seeing no actions for 2 days, i slightly google for the technique if making it. Most uses steam yam, tapioca flour, water and salt. Some added rice flour too. So with 90g of tapioca and 400g of steamed yam. I mixed another 90g of glutinous flour to my yam dough! 

A friend helped to get the beef and surprisingly this cut is yummy!! It is soft n not tough after frying!!  Great for kids who cant chew well, not forgetting the elders too!!! 

Pardon the evening sun glare! Yummy dinner tonite, excluding our Winter melon soup!
