Either way, you will be head over heels in love with this classic Filipino breakfast treat, that takes very little effort, hardly any skill, and so few ingredients you will not be able to fill up a shopping basket. Dripping with aromatic pandan-scented brown sugar syrup, this is gonna be your new jam!

Instructions
- Begin by cooking the sago pearls. Follow the package instructions for the best results. Typically, bring a pot of water to a boil and add the sago pearls. Let them simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until they become translucent, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- In a separate saucepan, combine water, your choice of palm sugar, coconut sugar, or brown sugar, the knotted pandan leaf, and salt. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Allow it to simmer for a few minutes to infuse the pandan flavor, stirring occasionally for even mixing. Remove the pandan leaf and set the sugar syrup aside.
- If you prefer to eat taho warm, place the block of tofu into a cheesecloth-lined steamer and steam for 6-8 minutes or until heated.
- With a knife or sharp spoon, cut the soft silken tofu into thin slivers of varying thickness.
- Spoon some of the sugar syrup into a bowl, add pieces of silken tofu, and top it off with a generous amount of perfectly cooked sago pearls and a final drizzle of the arnibal syrup.

Notes
- 🍚Pearl Perfection:
- 🍚
- Boil sago or tapioca pearls following package instructions. Small or medium pearls usually simmer for 20-25 minutes; stir to prevent sticking. If they require more time, give it to them, rather than serving undercooked pearls!
- 🔪Assembly on fleek:
- 🔪
- While you can get away with serving this in a bowl, I think it’s a lot more attractive served in a glass where you can see the pretty layers. When assembling, try not to crumble the delicate tofu.
- 🌡️Some like it hot
- 🌡️
- Whether you prefer warm or cold Taho, it's your choice. Steam silken tofu if warming; assemble with warm syrup for a comforting treat.
