Dadinhos de Tapioca (Tapioca Cubes) - Dairy & Egg Free

Instructions

1. 1In a medium saucepan, combine the 1 cup of Tapioca Flour, the 2 cups of Plant-Based Milk, the 1/4 cup of Nutritional Yeast, the 1/2 tsp of Salt, and the 1/4 tsp of Black Pepper.
2. 2Cook this mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk or spoon, for about 5 to 7 minutes. Continue stirring until the mixture becomes very thick and starts to pull away from the sides of the saucepan.
3. 3Pour the thickened tapioca mixture into a greased square baking dish, approximately 20 × 20 cm in size. Ensure the mixture is spread evenly.
4. 4Allow the tapioca mixture to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, cover the dish and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours. This chilling step is important to firm up the mixture so it can be cut.
5. 5Remove the firm tapioca block from the refrigerator and cut it into bite-sized cubes, about 2.5 cm in size.
6. 6Heat the 2 tbsp of Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat, which is about 175°C.
7. 7Carefully place the tapioca cubes into the hot olive oil. Fry the cubes for about 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy all over.
8. 8Using a slotted spoon, remove the crispy tapioca cubes from the skillet. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve the Dadinhos de Tapioca hot.
