Ingredients

  • 500 g silken tofu
  • 120 g brown sugar
  • 120 ml water
  • 120 g tapioca pearls

Directions

  1. 1Boil the tapioca pearls in plenty of water for twenty-five minutes until translucent to the centre.
  2. 2Drain the pearls and rinse them briefly in cold water.
  3. 3Put the brown sugar and water in a small pan and simmer eight minutes to a loose dark syrup.
  4. 4Warm the silken tofu gently, either by steaming it or standing the pack in hot water.
  5. 5Rest the tofu ten minutes so it warms through without breaking up.
  6. 6Spoon broad flat scoops of tofu into cups, add pearls, and pour the syrup over.

💡 Scoop the tofu in wide shallow layers with a flat spoon. Digging into it with a ladle breaks it into curds.
