Sunday Brunch: Tahô

This is a version of porridge from the Philippines. It does not look the most appetizing, but tastes fantastic. 











INGREDIENTS:
1 package Soft Tofu (I used silken almond tofu)
4 1/2 cups Water
1/2 cup Tapioca Pearls (uncooked)
1 1/4 cups Brown Sugar
1 tbsp Vanilla Extract

Bring 4 cups of water to a boil and add tapioca pearls, cook over medium for 40 minutes or so until pearls soften and absorb much of the water. Add 1/4 cup brown sugar, mix and remove from heat, allowing to cool to room temperature. Combine remaining 1/2 cup water with 1 cup brown sugar and vanilla, simmer until it becomes a syrup.

Put tofu in chunks into a bowl, microwave for about a minute to heat up. Top with the tapioca pearls and syrup and consume.
