   ملاحظة الطاهي: Handle silken tofu very carefully as it is fragile.

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Ensure the water in the pot does not touch the bottom of the steamer basket.

   In a small saucepan, bring the water for sago cooking to a boil.

   Add the tapioca pearls to the boiling water, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent with only a tiny white dot in the center.

   حوالي 12 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: The cooking time for tapioca pearls can vary by brand, so check the package instructions.
