TAHO

INGREDIENTS

 ▢16 oz silken tofu

 ▢1 1/4 cups brown sugar

 ▢1 cup water

 ▢1 teaspoon vanilla

 ▢1 cup tapioca or sago pearls see notes

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the tapioca pearls according to your package
instructions. This can be done in advance; just be sure to store the prepped pearls with some
water or a little brown sugar syrup (next step).
2. Combine the brown sugar, water, and vanilla in a small saucepan and place over medium-
high heat. Bring to a boil, stir to dissolve the sugar, and lower heat to a simmer. Continue
simmering for about 2-4 minutes and remove from heat. This syrup, or arnibal, can also be made
in advance.
3. Place silken tofu in a parchment lined steamer. Steam for 10-15 minutes, or until heated
through. Alternatively, you can microwave the tofu for about 2-5 minutes.
4. To serve, scoop slices of warm silken tofu into a small cup. Top with tapioca or sago
pearls. Pour hot brown sugar syrup (arnibal) on top. Serve immediately, while warm.
