This method works for tapioca pearls from Bossen &amp; Tea Zone. It can also work as a starting point for tapioca pearls that don’t come with instructions.

30 & 30 Method for Cooking Tapioca Pearls

½ c white tapioca pearls

water

In a large pot, add 10 cups of water and bring to a boil.

When it’s a rolling boil, add tapioca pearls and lower to the medium heat.

Continue to simmer for 30 minutes uncovered. Stir occasionally to prevent the pearls from sticking.

After 30 minutes, remove the pot from the stove, cover with lid, and let rest another 30 minutes.

Strain the tapioca pearls and wash under cold running water to stop the cooking and remove the starchy outer layer.

Taste-test the tapioca pearls and test if they&#039;re fully cooked through. They should be soft and chewy, but not crumble when you eat it. Note that just because the centers may be opaque, they can still be cooked fully, but you need to taste test to make sure they’re cooked.

If the pearls are still not cooked throughout or have hard centers, repeat steps 2-6 with a new batch of water.

Optional: when the pearls are done cooking you can choose to sweeten your pearls by adding sugar or honey on top and let sit for an additional 10 minutes.

Coconut Tapioca Pudding is a creamy, light, and refreshing Thai dessert to enjoy on a hot summer evening. Plus, it’s gluten-free and can be made vegan too.

Coconut Tapioca Pudding

cup white tapioca pearls or mini sago pearls, uncooked

tablespoon honey

(13.5 ounce) can coconut milk (about 1 and 1/2 cups)

tablespoons sweetened condensed milk (to taste)

ripe mango, peeled and diced

In a medium saucepan, bring 6 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Add tapioca pearls and turn the heat down to medium-low heat. Cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan. 

Turn off the heat and let the pearls rest in the hot water for another 30 minutes.

Rinse the pearls under running water to cool and drain well. 

If you still see a white dot in each pearl, repeat the previous steps by boiling the pearls for 30 minutes and letting them sit for 30 minutes until all the tapioca pearls become completely transparent.

Drain well and transfer into a bowl. Stir in honey to prevent them from sticking together.

Add sago pearls and turn the heat down to medium-low heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent from sticking to the bottom of the pan. At this point, you might still see a tiny white dot in each pearl.

Turn off the heat and let the pearls rest in the hot water until all the tapioca pearls become completely transparent, about 15-20 minutes.

Rinse the pearls under running water to cool. Drain well and set aside in a bowl. Stir in honey to prevent the pearls from sticking together.

Cook the white pearls

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together coconut milk and sweetened condensed milk until well combined.

Divide the cooked pearls between 4 serving bowls. Stir in the coconut milk mixture.
