Question

it is a white gelatinous dessert with sweet syrup and sometimes tapioca pearls. what exactly is the main ingredient?

Answer 1

Almost Instant Taho/ tawa
The easiest recipe is to purchase a powdered Tofu mixture (comes in a small box) from any Asian grocery store. This will be labeled "soy bean custard" or "soy bean pudding" or "tofu pudding" and occasionally "soy cheese mix". It is found where the Jello is. Buy 3 boxes, use extra water in the mixture, then follow the instructions at the back of the box. You will need about 4 1/2 cups water, depending on your thickness preference. Chill to achieve the desired thickness.
