Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a pot, bring 1 liter of water to a boil, then add the small tapioca pearls. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent and tender.
  2. Once cooked, drain the tapioca pearls and rinse them under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  3. For the syrup, combine the cane sugar and 100 ml of water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  4. Once dissolved, bring the syrup to a simmer and let it reduce slightly for 5 minutes until it thickens. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  5. Gently warm the silken tofu in a microwave or a steamer for about 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  6. Divide the warm tofu among serving bowls. Using a large spoon, gently shave portions of the tofu into the bowls.
  7. Top the tofu with the cooked tapioca pearls and a generous drizzle of the warm brown sugar syrup. Serve immediately and enjoy.
