做法

分步操作

1. 1

   Gently remove the silken tofu from its packaging and place it in a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth or parchment paper.

   约 1分钟

   烹饪提示： Handle silken tofu very carefully as it is fragile.

2. 2

   Steam the tofu over boiling water for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. Keep it warm while you prepare the other components.

   约 15分钟

   烹饪提示： Ensure the water in the pot does not touch the bottom of the steamer basket.

3. 3

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

   约 3分钟

4. 4

   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.

   约 12分钟

   烹饪提示： The cooking time for tapioca pearls can vary by brand, so check the package instructions.

5. 5

   Remove the cooked tapioca pearls from heat, drain them, and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking.

   约 1分钟

6. 6

   For the arnibal (syrup), combine the brown sugar and water for arnibal in a separate small saucepan.

   约 1分钟

7. 7

   Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves and the syrup slightly thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

   约 7分钟

   烹饪提示： Do not boil too vigorously, as it can crystalize the sugar.

8. 8

   Remove the arnibal from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, if using.

   约 1分钟

9. 9

   To serve, gently scoop spoonfuls of the warm silken tofu into individual bowls.

   约 1分钟

   烹饪提示： A wide, flat spoon works best for scooping the delicate tofu.

10. 10

    Top generously with the cooked tapioca pearls and drizzle with the warm arnibal.

    烹饪提示： Serve immediately for the best experience.
