Creating strawberry-flavored taho is a delightful twist on the traditional Filipino treat.

Here's a simple
recipe to make strawberry taho at home:

Ingredients:

For the Taho:

 500g silken tofu

 1/4 teaspoon calcium sulfate (gypsum) or 1/4 teaspoon Epsom salt (for coagulating the tofu)

For the Strawberry Syrup:

 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped

 1/2 cup water

 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)

 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, to enhance the flavor)

For the Sago (Tapioca Pearls):

 1/2 cup small tapioca pearls

 Water for boiling

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Taho:

o Drain the silken tofu from its liquid and place it in a heatproof container.

o Dissolve the calcium sulfate or Epsom salt in 1/4 cup of warm water.

o Pour the dissolved mixture over the silken tofu and gently stir to combine.

o Let the mixture sit undisturbed for about 15-20 minutes to allow the tofu to set into a
solid form. Once set, cut the tofu into cubes and set aside.

2. Prepare the Strawberry Syrup:

o In a saucepan, combine chopped strawberries, water, and sugar.

o Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

o Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until
the strawberries have softened and the syrup has slightly thickened.

o If desired, add lemon juice to enhance the flavor. Remove from heat and let the syrup
cool down to room temperature.

3. Prepare the Sago (Tapioca Pearls):

o Bring a pot of water to a boil.

 o Add the tapioca pearls to the boiling water and stir gently to prevent sticking.

o Cook the tapioca pearls according to the package instructions or until they become
translucent.

o Once cooked, drain the tapioca pearls and rinse them under cold water to stop the
cooking process. Set aside.

4. Assemble the Strawberry Taho:

o To serve, place a few pieces of tofu (taho) in serving bowls or cups.

o Add a spoonful or two of cooked tapioca pearls (sago) on top of the tofu.

o Pour the cooled strawberry syrup generously over the tofu and tapioca pearls.

o Serve the strawberry taho immediately while it's still warm, and enjoy!

You can adjust the sweetness of the syrup according to your taste preference by adding more or less
sugar. Feel free to garnish the strawberry taho with fresh strawberry slices for extra flavor and
presentation.
