Instructions

To cook the tapioca pearls:

In a pot of at least 3 cups boiling water (use more water than you think), add 1 cup of small tapioca pearls. Cook for 10 min, stirring frequently, then turn off the heat.
Cover and let stand for 15 min to cook through.
Rinse the pearls and drain with a fine mesh sieve, then transfer to a jar. Add cold water to the jar to keep the pearls chewy and separated.

To cook the taro:

Cook 300 g diced taro in a large pot of boiling water for about 15-20 minutes until fork tender. Drain and set aside.

To make the Palm Sugar Syrup

Over medium heat, melt the palm sugar in the water to make a sugar syrup.
Once the sugar has melted, transfer to a clean container and let cool.

To assemble 1 serving:

In a bowl combine 1/3 cup grass jelly, 1/3 cup sago pearls, and 1/2 cup cooked taro cubes.
Spoon over 3 tbsp of the palm sugar syrup, 2 tbsp of oat cream, and 1/4 cup of Naked Oat Vanilla.
Stir and enjoy this sweet, dessert soup!

Notes

If you'd like to mix all the ingredients together and store that way, you are welcome to do so, but the soup will thicken in the fridge with the sago. The taro however will absorb the sugar, which is a delicious time! But I prefer to keep each component separate so I get an even distribution in each bowl.
