FILIPINO TAHO RECIPE

Equipment

• Pot
• Mesh Strainers
• Steamer

Ingredients

• 1 18-oz pack soft or silk tofu
• ½ cup sago or tapioca pearls
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ¾ cup water
• 1 tsp vanilla extract optional

Instructions 

1. Place your tofu in a steamer or steam basket and steam until fully cooked through, 10-15 minutes.
2. While your tofu is steaming, you can work on your sago.  This would depend on the kind of sago you have — some require almost an hour of cooking while others are done in 5 minutes. I provide more sago cooking tips in the post. Once your sago is done, put it aside in a bowl of cold water until you’re ready to assemble.
3. To make the arnibal, simply combine brown sugar with water in a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil until the sugar dissolves.
4. Remove from heat and add 1 tsp vanilla extract, if using. Stir to combine. Set aside until you’re ready to assemble.
5. To make taho, put tofu, sago and syrup in a mug, glass or bowl and enjoy! How much of each you put depends entirely up to you.
