Rice flour is made from uncooked rice grains that are ground to a powder. It is used mainly in desserts. Fresh rice flour may be made by soaking rice grains overnight and then grinding it slowly in a blender. Dried rice flour is readily available in packets.

Taro root is a starchy tuber that looks like and is used like a potato. It has a brown and hairy outer skin that must first be removed before cooking. Its flesh may be white, pink or purplish inside with the texture of a potato but a unique taste and flavor. It is normally boiled, baked, fried or steamed. In making Thai desserts, taro root is often boiled or steamed and then mashed into a paste. There are two kinds of taro—a larger one the size of a baseball and a miniature taro similar in size to a baby potato. Choose taro root that is firm and hairy. It may be stored in a cool and dry place for up to a week.
