Instructions

1. 1In a medium pot (about 3-quart / 3000 ml capacity), bring water to a rolling boil over high heat (approximately 100°C / 100°C). Add the 0.25 cup tapioca pearls and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are completely translucent and chewy throughout. Drain the cooked tapioca pearls using a fine-mesh sieve and set them aside.
2. 2In a medium saucepan (about 2-quart / 2000 ml capacity), combine the 0.5 cup brown sugar and the 0.25 cup water. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat until it reaches a rolling boil (approximately 100°C / 100°C), which will take about 5-7 minutes.
3. 3Reduce the heat to low and let the syrup simmer gently at approximately 82.22-93.33°C / 82-93°C for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The syrup is done when it has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
4. 4Carefully scoop the 1 package Silken Tofu into individual serving bowls, trying to keep the tofu pieces intact.
5. 5Spoon the cooked 0.25 cup tapioca pearls evenly over the silken tofu in each bowl.
6. 6Generously drizzle the warm arnibal syrup over the tapioca pearls and tofu. Serve the Taho warm immediately.
