Taho (Silken Tofu with Syrup and Sago)

Ingredients

• 1 package (12 oz) Silken Tofu
• 1 cup Brown Sugar
• 1/2 cup Water
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1/2 cup Sago Pearls

Instructions

1. 1In a medium saucepan, combine the 1/2 cup of water and the 1 cup of brown sugar. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium-high heat (400°F / 200°C). Once boiling, reduce the heat to low (200°F / 95°C) and let it simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup thickens slightly. Stir in the 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until combined.
2. 2While the syrup is simmering, cook the 1/2 cup of sago pearls. Place the sago pearls in a separate small saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat (400°F / 200°C) and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the pearls are translucent and have a soft, chewy texture. Drain the cooked sago pearls in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse them briefly with cool water to prevent sticking.
3. 3Gently scoop the 1 package (12 oz) of silken tofu into individual serving bowls, being careful not to break it up too much.
4. 4Spoon a generous amount of the warm arnibal (brown sugar syrup) over the silken tofu in each bowl.
5. 5Top the syrupy tofu with the cooked 1/2 cup of sago pearls.
6. 6Serve the Taho warm immediately.
