homemade taho using soy milk

5/13/2019

Taho is a soybean pudding mixed with sago (tapioca pearls) and hot brown sugar syrup. A snack that is normally sold in the Philippines by a vendor calling out "Tahoooooo" in the morning. 
​Soy Bean pudding can be made at home by using unsweetened Soy Milk combined with cornstarch and gelatin.  Simmer all together, let it cool and refrigerate. I find the taste better than the packaged extra soft tofu. It is creamier and I can taste the soy in it. ​
I made this twice and the photo above with colorful pearls is the new version.
The only challenge really is preparing the sago. It needs to be boiled in water for 30 minutes to 1 hour and cook until color becomes translucent. I think timing depends on the brand. I also noticed the sago pearls when they are fully white, it takes forever to soften and the white core is still there. The one I got is brown in color and the middle part is not too white. I find it faster to cook and the white core disappears when fully cooked. See photo below. 
For my tip, after cooking the sago, leave them in the pot for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. It will fully cook. So if you are making this Taho, I suggest to make the sago ahead of time or a day before.

For the Arnibal or Brown Sugar Syrup, I find that it tastes way better when caramelizing the brown sugar first before adding the water instead of combing the two ingredients together and boil to dissolve the sugar. Try both procedures and you can tell the big difference in taste. Caramelizing will give you a strong flavor. You can also add vanilla or fresh pandan leaves if available.

Procedure:
To cook the sago:
  • In a medium pan, cook sago according to package directions. If no cooking directions are provided, boil the pearl sago in boiling water. Cook until sago becomes clear or translucent. This takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the brand of sago. Add more water if needed. To fully cook and for the white core to fully disappear, after boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pan and leave it there for another 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Drain the water and transfer to a bowl. Add arnibal or brown sugar syrup, honey or agave as a sweetener and to avoid sticking. Set aside. 
​To make the Taho or Soy Bean Pudding: 
  • In a medium pan, combine corn starch and gelatin powder. Add 1/3 cup soy milk. 
  • Turn on the heat and stir until gelatin and cornstarch are dissolved.
  • Add the rest of the soy milk. Let it boil. Remove from pan and transfer to a bowl. Remove excess bubbles. Cover with a towel and let it cool. Once cooled, refrigerate for few hours or overnight or until ready to use. 
​
​To make Arnibal or Brown Sugar Syrup:
  • In a small pot, add the brown sugar
  • Caramelize or let the sugar dissolve. Stir occasionally.
  • Add the water. Let it boil until the sugar is fully dissolved. 
To prepare the Taho:
  • Fill a clear cup or tall drinking glass cup with taho.
  • Add hot arnibal or brown sugar syrup depending on sweetness preference.
  • Add cooked sago. Stir.
  • Serve and enjoy :)
