Step 1: Soak the Tapioca
In a medium saucepan, combine tapioca and milk. Let it sit for 20–30 minutes to soften the pearls.
Step 2: Cook the Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and add the sugar.
Cook while stirring frequently for about 10–15 minutes, until the mixture begins to steam and the tapioca becomes slightly translucent.
Step 3: Temper the Egg
In a separate bowl, beat the egg.
Slowly add a few spoonfuls of the hot mixture into the egg while whisking continuously. This prevents the egg from scrambling.
Step 4: Finish Cooking
Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan.
Continue cooking for 3–5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens.
Step 5: Rest and Serve
Remove from heat and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
You can serve it:
-
Warm for a soft, creamy texture
-
Or chilled for a thicker consistency
