Boil the sago pearls in 2 cups of boiling water for 18 minutes, until translucent.
Drain the sago pearls and keep them moist with a few spoonfuls from half a cup of water so they do not stick.
Boil the brown sugar, remaining water, and vanilla for 7 minutes, until you have a pourable syrup.
Place the silken tofu in a heatproof dish and warm it over steam for 6 minutes.
Spoon the tofu into glasses in large pieces.
Drizzle the sago pearls and brown sugar syrup over the top.
Serve the taho warm without waiting.
💡 Tip: Do not boil the silken tofu; gently steaming it keeps the surface smooth.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve taho warm in a tall glass, with optional plain Turkish coffee on the side.
