I have a question about the flour that you use on your hands and your work space, is it also tapioca flour or is it regular flour?

Can you freeze the boba pearls before boiling them? I want to prepare them ahead of time like 3 days.
Reply

  Yes you can, freeze them and use any amount that you need.
  To boil the frozen boba pearls,
  Make sure the water is at full boil before dropping them in and stir to prevent them from sticking.
  Otherwise they will break apart easily.

  Must these be braised or can these pearls be used as is?

    Hey Amanda,
    They must be braised, else they are still raw.

      What is the difference between cooking and braising? If we have done the cooking step, do we also need to braise?

      - Ethan Wong on April 1st, 2021 at 10:45 pm
        Yes, also need to braise.
        The first cooking process is just to thoroughly cook them. They are still very tough then, braised them to have more flavors in and also make them soften to a better consistency

      When I added all of the ingredients to the pot I stirred and stirred but it never thickened. I made mine with mangos, any tips to resolve this?

        Hey Fraya,
        I think there is two reason;
        1) the heat is not high enough. (Higher heat = faster the dough thickened, but also too thick, we cannot work on the dough).
        2) too much water, try reducing the water content, cause I had never try with Mango before.
        Hope this helps!

How long until it expires?

  cooked boba, I think 5 days +/-
  uncooked boba, you can freeze it and they can probably last 12 months.

Hi does the boba pop when you eat it?
Reply
- Ethan Wong on May 9th, 2021 at 5:50 pm
  Nope, this is not popping boba.
  That is another type of boba.

Can you cook the boba in water for Longer instead of braising in fruit purée or is this a specifically necessary step? Thank you!
Reply
- Ethan Wong on May 9th, 2021 at 5:49 pm
  Hey Rose,
  Yes you can, but all the flavor (in this case, fruits) will leach out into the water.
  Braising them in fruit puree is meant to fortify the fruit’s flavor.

How long does it take the mixture to form into a dough-like consistency? Mine has been liquid for a long time.
Reply
- Ethan Wong on May 9th, 2021 at 5:48 pm
  Hey Alexa,
  the time for the mixture to form a dough depends on the heat.
  Basically, the higher the heat = the faster the mixture becomes dough.
  But also if overcooked, then the dough would end up too hard and difficult to work with.

Hi! I didn’t see a measurement of the fruit. It only tells the measurement of the tapioca flour.

LOL!! never mind

This recipe is wonderful! Are you able to replace the tapioca flour with corn flour/corn starch?
Reply
- Ethan Wong on May 9th, 2021 at 5:03 pm
  Hey Holly,
  unfortunately no.
  Only tapioca starch can produce these chewy texture.

Hi I am so excited to try this recipe but I only have frozen strawberries can you use thawed fruit or does it have to be fresh?

It came out very messy, and thicker than expected

Hi the other day i tried to make these and everything was going good until the tapioca when i would add it to my mixture it would still be super sticky and it would not form it a dough like texture and it was still sticky and then it would act like it was a dough and then stick out into being sticky any advice?
, thanks!

  Hi there,
  I think the dough wasn’t cooked enough, try cooking them in longer or with higher heat.
  basically, we are cooking starch here, the more we cook the starch, the stickier they become and easier to work on them
