Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Combine brown sugar, water, and ginger in a small pot over medium heat.

  2. Step 2

    Simmer until syrup is glossy and darkened, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in vanilla and remove from heat.

  3. Step 3

    Let syrup cool for 1 minute, then fish out ginger slices.

  4. Step 4

    Gently spoon silken tofu into two bowls, keeping it jiggly — don't break it up.

  5. Step 5

    Top each bowl with cooked tapioca pearls.

  6. Step 6

    Drizzle warm brown sugar syrup over tofu and pearls. Serve immediately.
