Taho
Taho is a delicious breakfast or afternoon snack that is enjoyed all year long.
A classic sweet snack in the Philippines made with silken tofu, sago or tapioca pearls, and a simple brown sugar syrup also known as Taho. Served warmly, it’s popular as a comforting breakfast or for merienda (snack) any time of the day!
Ingredients:
16 oz silken tofu
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup tapioca or sago pearls
Instructions:
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).
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 the 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.
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. 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.
