Here's a simple
recipe to make strawberry taho at home:
Ingredients:
1/4 teaspoon calcium sulfate (gypsum) or 1/4 teaspoon Epsom salt (for coagulating the tofu)
Instructions:
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.
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.
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.
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.
