- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberries chopped, plus extra whole strawberries to garnish (optional)
- 1 cup arnibal caramelized brown sugar syrup
- 2 packs silken tofu
- mini tapioca sago, cooked, to top
First, let's start by making the arnibal. Grab a saucepan and combine sugar, 1 cup of water, and vanilla extract. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the sugar is completely dissolved - this should take about 8 to 10 minutes. Once it's done, set it aside.
Next, let's move on to the strawberry syrup. In another saucepan, combine some chopped strawberries and the arnibal we just made. Simmer the mixture until the strawberries become slightly translucent, which usually takes about 5 minutes. Then, let it cool for about 20 minutes to thicken.
Now, it's time to prepare the tofu. Place it in a heatproof dish, and boil some water in a steamer. Once the water is boiling, steam the tofu for 8 to 10 minutes until it's nice and soft.
Finally, let's assemble our Strawberry Taho! Scoop the steamed tofu into some glasses and layer it with some yummy sago and the strawberry syrup we made earlier. To top it all off, garnish with some whole strawberries for an extra pop of color and flavor.
