Ingredients
- 10.5 oz silken tofu (aka soft tofu)
- ¼ cup tapioca pearls large or small uncooked kind both work (do not use minute tapioca)
- 1 cup brown sugar dark or light brown (or sub with coconut sugar)
- ½ cup water cold
- 1 pandan leaf tied in a knot (or sub with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or pandan extract)
Instructions
- For large tapioca pearls: Bring a medium pot filled with 8 cups or 1.89 litres of water to boil on high heat. Add large tapioca pearls, reduce to medium heat and boil for 30 minutes uncovered. Turn off the heat, cover and let the pearls soak in the hot water on the heat source for another 30 minutes until soft and chewy by performing a taste test (even if you see a white dot in the center). If the center is still hard, repeat the whole process again until soft and chewy. For small tapioca pearls: bring a medium pot filled with 8 cups or 1.89 litres of water to boil on high heat. Add small tapioca pearls, reduce to medium heat and boil for 10 minutes uncovered. Then turn off the heat, cover and soak for another 10-15 minutes on the heat source, until fully translucent and the white dot is gone.
- Then strain the cooked pearls in a fine sieve and rinse them under cold running water to remove excess starch. Then strain out any excess water.
- Next remove silken tofu from packaging and strain out the liquids. Transfer the tofu to a cutting board and gently slice into thin layers with a sharp knife.
- Then divide the cooked tapioca pearls and sliced tofu between two dessert bowls. Set aside.
- Next in a small pot, add cold water, brown sugar and a tied pandan leaf. Bring it a boil for 2-3 minutes while stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pandan leaf and remove off heat.
- Lastly, fill each glass or bowl with some brown sugar syrup. Enjoy warm or let it cool to enjoy cold.
