How to Make Tapioca Pearls from Glutinous Rice Flour
-
Kneading the Dough
Next, you slowly add 260ml of boiling water into the flour mixture, then use the spoon to mix for about 3 minutes until the water cools down enough for you to knead the dough by hand.
After that, transfer the dough onto a cutting board and knead it like bread dough until it is smooth, elastic, and not sticky to your hands.
-
Shaping the Balls
You divide the dough into small round balls. Then, roll the dough into a long shape, cut it into small pieces with a knife, and roll each piece into a ball.
To prevent the tapioca pearls from sticking together, you should prepare a bowl and add a little tapioca flour into it. Once you finish shaping a ball, place it immediately into the bowl of flour.

Boiling tapioca pearls
First, you put a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil. When the water boils, add all the tapioca pearls and use a spoon to stir so that the pearls do not stick to the bottom of the pot.
Then, cover the pot, and when the water boils again, open the lid and stir once more, then continue to cover it. During the boiling process, keep the heat high and monitor to avoid overflowing. Just boil for about 15 minutes, then turn off the heat and let it rest on the stove for another 15 minutes. If you boil over medium heat and keep the lid open, boil for 30 minutes and rest for 15 minutes.
Tip:- You should only boil as much as you will eat, especially when the tapioca pearls have been frozen; they should only be boiled once.
- To reduce the stickiness of the tapioca pearls, after resting on the stove, you must take them out and rinse them in a bowl of clean water.
Then, put the tapioca pearls in a bowl, add 2 teaspoons of sugar, and wait for 10 minutes for the sugar to absorb into the pearls before taking them out to drink with milk tea (the sugar helps the pearls become sweeter and prevents them from swelling when stored in the refrigerator).
Note: To prevent the tapioca pearls from becoming chewy when encountering cold ice, you should not soak the pearls in cold water for too long; just rinse them briefly to reduce stickiness. -
Final Product
Tapioca pearls made from glutinous rice flour are chewy and have an eye-catching brown color. The pearls have a light sweetness and a fragrant aroma from pure cocoa powder that makes you crave more.
