Cassava Balls image

This is a snack from the Fiji Islands. It is made with fresh cassava or yuca. Frozen yuca could be used, but you would need to squeeze out some water after they thaw out. If you are using a large or extra large egg, you may need another half cup or so of the grated cassava to tighten up the mixture.
