Glutinous rice flour, corn starch and sweet potato starch can replace cassava flour, but different flour should be selected for different purposes. If making moon cakes with ice skin, if there is no cassava flour, glutinous rice flour and corn starch can be used instead. If taro balls are made without cassava flour, glutinous rice flour can be used instead. If you make pearls in bubble tea, you can use sweet potato starch, corn starch and glutinous rice flour instead.
