Taho is a classic Filipino breakfast drink sold by street vendors in the morning. Silken tofu is topped with caramel syrup and sago pearls cooked quickly in a pressure cooker. Made with soy-based silken tofu, it makes a heart-friendly start to the day.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Cook the sago

10 min

Put the sago pearls and water in a pressure cooker and close the lid. Once the cooker starts to whistle, cook over low heat for 10 minutes.

2

Cool the sago

45 min

Wait for the steam to release naturally before opening the lid. Drain the sago pearls and rinse them in cold water.

3

Make the syrup

15 min

Dissolve the brown sugar in water in a separate pot, add the vanilla, and boil for 15 minutes until it thickens into a syrup.

4

Serve

5 min

Scoop the silken tofu into bowls with a wide ladle, then top with the sago pearls and drizzle with the hot syrup.

Reminder

Scoop the silken tofu with a wide ladle dipped in hot water instead of using a spoon, so the tofu slides off without breaking apart.
