Clean your hands and workspace thoroughly.

Rinse the cassava and soak it in water to remove impurities.

After rinsing, let the cassava sit for a few minutes until the water separates from the dough.

Pour off the water and keep the dough.

Place the dough in a clean bag and let it sit overnight to allow excess water to drain out.

The next day, check the dough; it should be fluffy and clean.

Divide the dough into two plastic bags for cooking.

Prepare a pot of boiling water and place a metal rack at the bottom to prevent the bags from sticking.

Put the bags with the dough into the pot and cover it.

Cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

After cooking, check if the dough is fully cooked by cutting it open; it should not be white inside.
