How to cook Tapioca Pearls (Mini Sago)

How to cook Tapioca Pearls (Mini Sago)

Tapioca pearls are these chewy, tiny gelatine like balls which are added to bubble tea drinks or tapioca pudding. In this video, I'll show you how easy it is to cook tapioca pearls.

Measurements
1 cup Tapioca pearls to 4 - 5 cups water
For additional cups of tapioca pearls add 3 - 4 cups water
Cooking Time
8 to 10 minutes - Hot Drinks or Deserts
10 to 13 minutes - Cold Drinks or Desserts

Ingredients
1 cup of tapioca pearls
4 to 5 cups of water

1. First, pour water in a sauce pot and cover it with a lid. Turn the heat on high and wait till it boils.
2. When the water starts boiling, uncover the sauce pot. Pour the tapioca pearls slowly in a swirling motion. Cover it with a lid and cook it for about 8 to 13 minutes depending on its use.
3. After it's done cooking, make sure to give it a good stir so, this will help loose some of the tapioca that are sticking together
4. Pour the cooked tapioca pearls on a strainer under running water to stop it from cooking. Make sure to drain any excess water and set it aside for about 5 minutes.
*Add it to your favorite drink or dessert for some chewy goodness and enjoy!
I hope you enjoyed this video.
