Strawberry Taho

Strawberry Taho is a new take on the traditional taho where instead of the classic arnibal a strawberry syrup is used.

I love taho, I grew up with it drinking almost every morning. I still remember those days when I hear the street peddler shouting taho, I start to run out, on the way ask my mom for five pesos and grab the largest mug I can find in the kitchen so the taho vendor will fill it with all of the sweet warm goodness. Many years later we started making our own taho at home since we migrated overseas, luckily these are easily available in Asian tofu shops, it is as good as the one we have in the Philippines but there is no excitement specially for my daughter who dd not experience getting it from the street vendor.

Today I was thinking of making this drink festive and the best way to do that is making it colour red and use festive flavours we are used to back home, so I decided to make a strawberry taho, its red, its strawberry, it’s all you need to make it as festive as you can.

Instructions

1. Prepare your strawberry syrup by combining all strawberry syrup apart from cornstarch in a sauce pan. Place it in stove top over medium heat, bring to a boil then simmer for 15 minutes until strawberries are very soft.
2. In a small bowl dilute cornstarch in 1/4 cup water. Pour this mixture into the pan then continue to simmer in low heat for 5 minutes or until sauce is thick. Remove from heat then set it aside.
3. Cook tapioca pearls according to packet instructions but add sugar on it, the amount of sugar will be like the amount of sago pearls (1-part sugar to 1-part sago pearls) also add several drops of red food colour to give it that red colour.
4. Once cooked set it aside and let it cool.
5. Place tofu in heat proof mugs the place it on a steamer, cover mug with cling wrap or small saucer to prevent water from coming in then steam for 15 minutes, you can also use microwave for 90 seconds each full mug but steaming yields better result.
6. Remove mugs from steamer then top it with strawberry syrup and sago pearls. Serve it while hot.
