• 1/2 cup Small Tapioca Pearls (Sago)
• 4 cups Water
• 1 cup Brown Sugar
• 1/2 cup Water
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the syrup has slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract. Set aside.
3. 3Gently spoon the Silken Tofu into individual serving bowls, dividing it evenly among 4 bowls.
4. 4Spoon the cooked Small Tapioca Pearls (Sago) over the Silken Tofu in each bowl.
5. 5Drizzle the prepared brown sugar syrup (arnibal) generously over the tapioca pearls and tofu in each bowl.
6. 6Serve the Taho warm immediately.
