Ingredients
- Soft tofu
- 1 block (about 300g), cut into small cubes
- Tapioca pearls
- 1/2 cup
- Brown sugar
- 1/2 cup
- Water
- 1 cup
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Begin by cooking the tapioca pearls according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves boiling them in water until they become translucent and chewy. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process, then set aside.
- In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved. Once dissolved, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract to create your sweet syrup.
- Cut the soft tofu into small cubes, ensuring they are bite-sized for easy enjoyment.
- To serve, place a few spoonfuls of the cooked tapioca pearls in a bowl. Gently add the cubes of soft tofu on top.
- Drizzle the warm sweet syrup generously over the tofu and tapioca pearls, ensuring everything is well coated.
- Enjoy your taho while it’s still warm for the best experience!
Tips
- For an extra twist, you can add a splash of coconut milk to the syrup to enhance the creaminess.
- If you prefer a healthier option, consider using honey or maple syrup instead of brown sugar.
