Boba Pearls also known as tapioca balls, they are translucent chewy spheres made from semi-cooked tapioca, a type of starch that are extracted from the cassave root. How do they got their name boba pearls?

Boba rose to fame in Taiwan – Here is what happened

In Chinese, the word “波巴” pronounced as boba, is a combination of bubble and big which is a Taiwanese sland for “big breasts” or “buxom lady”.

It all started from one small tea shop owner in an attemtp to make his tea stall stands out than the rest, so he made his tapioca pearls double in size to as what we enjoyed, now everywhere, naming his pearls boba. Out of the blue, this become a common term used to desribe the drink, hence, Boba Pearls Milk Tea was created.

Homemade Boba Pearls VS Commercial Boba Pearls

​The commercially produce boba pearls for chain businesses contain a lots of additives, to name a few;

  • Sulfuric Acid – a blenching agent and helps in speeding up the process of making flour.
  • Aluminium Sulfate – to increase the viscosity of the flour.
  • Sulfur Dioxide – to separate the starch from unwanted substances and also regulate the microbial and enzymatic reactions.
  • Chlorine – to disinfect the flour for a purer form of flour as well as bleaching properties.

    I’m so happy! These came out so well! I think I used the wrong kind of sugar because the boba pearls came out a light brown in the end but these are delicious! I like them more than the prepackaged kind! I absolutely will be making these again! It was kind of difficult to make the dough since it was very sticky for me ?. Rolling the boba pearls also took a bit but it was worth every minute. I ended up braising the boba in a honey water sugar mixture instead and they were delicious! Thank you so much for this recipe!

    Hi. I’m wanting to sell uncooked boba pearls in packet. How can I keep its shape? Any suggestion?

    回复
    • Ethan Wong

      Just roll it into the shape that u want. And to packed them and selling it would require more extensive research to find out the moisture composition of the pearls. Since they are uncooked and kept in room temperature, they are more prone to spoilage.
      You will need to do more research and test to find out on this.

      Hi, im student from food technology and we just make an experiment about the uncooked bobba. you just need to put the bobba in freezer after you finish make a bobba. Before you put in a freezer, make sure you coated the bobba with the tapioca starch so the bobba will not stick to each other. We have been frozen the bobba for a two weeks and when we want to boil it, it turned out very well and chewable like original.

      Hello! I did test this out with glutinous rice flour, and it worked like a charm! It tasted a bit stale, but it cooked very quickly and wasn’t too bad.

    Hey
    How long will the braised boba pearls lasted if keep in the fridge?
    Does it need to be braised?
    Many thanks

    回复
    • Ethan Wong

      Braised boba pearls can last about 5 days in yr fridge. Uncooked boba pearls if kept frozen can last a few months

    How do I apply this if I plan on using them for commercial purposes? And can I use muscovado sugar for this? Thanks!

    回复
    • Ethan Wong

      Hey! U can use any sort of sugar to substitute the brown sugar. As to commercialize them, is either u reduce their moisture content to 5% which allow you to store them in room temperature conditions or you add preservative to prevent mould growth.
      Another way is to freeze those uncooked boba pearl but frozen products will require most cost in storage and delivery.
      If you’re gonna ask next how to reduce the moisture content or which preservatives to use, I have not idea on that, that would require a great deal of research and test to find out.
      I hope what I know could give u a head start to your plans.

    Hi Ethan! I tried this Recipe and I find it the best ever tried for boba! I think that if some have to sticky dough that they haven’t let the mixture long enough on the heat. Mine was a little bit sticky but with some starch on my working place and hands the dough became beautiful. Never had such an amazing consistency before. Unfortunately the dark brown sugar sold here in Italy doesn’t leave my pearls black but brown instead. But the taste and texture is amazing. Now I’ll try the fruity ones next time!
    Thank you so much for this recipe

    hello! I have a problem with my boba dough. The dough would not form, instead it starts hardening and crumble. What have I done wrong? D:

    回复
    • Nadine

      Hello! I believe this is because the dough was left out for too long. If it is exposed to air with no water for too long it will dry up. I suggest covering the dough with a slightly wet cloth when you aren’t working with it. If it’s already crumbling, add a bit of water and reshape the balls.

      yes, you can. you can change the water a few times to reduce the temperature

    Hi good day Chef Ethan..
    I do follow ur recipe n step 2make tis boba ,i facing a difficulty
    1st..tapioca flour is difficult 2form a dough like urs video
    2nd..my boba hv middle part hard aft cooling or aft adding cold milk n ice? could u plssss advise wat i did wrong n btw wat brand of tapioca flour 2use???

    回复
    • Ethan Wong

      To answer your questions;
      1) tapioca flour not forming is due to not cooked enough to form into a dough
      2) the middle part still raw is due to not braising enough, you can braise longer to make sure the middle part is cooked through

      Apologies for the much late reply

    This is an incredible article!! For those that have the same problem, I overcooked the dough the first time (thought it had to be cooked until it was no longer runny at all) and got a weird consistency that was both wet, yet powdery and broke apart with touch. Not really a good dough, but I forced them into balls and cooked them anyway and its still worked!

    Made another batch taking the dough out when it was still sticky, and it made a MUCH BETTER dough- the taste was similar both methods, although my girlfriend says she can taste the difference haha.

    Did you ever have an issue where the boba lost its shape once it went back into the hot water to cook? Mine flattened once I threw them in the boiling water

    回复
    • Ethan Wong

      Never happened to mine before.
      I think that you didn’t cook then enough for the dough to hold their shape.

    Hello.. Can the boba be stored? For how long and at which stage can it be stored(eg rolled into 1cm balls and coated with flour, cooked and braised etc)?

    回复
    • Ethan Wong

      Hey Amy, yes the boba can be stored, coated with flour.
      you can freeze them and probably keep them for months.

      When u wanna use them, simply boil them and then braise.
