Banana Tapioca Pudding Recipes

CAMBODIAN TAPIOCA-BANANA PUDDING

Steps:

• Place 2 cups of water in a microwave-safe dish and heat until warm in the microwave, about 2 minutes. Add the tapioca and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain in a sieve. You'll have a mushy puddle of tapioca left over.
• Pour the remaining water into a saucepan and add the drained tapioca. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium heat until the tapioca begins to turn transparent. Stir frequently to avoid sticking.
• When the tapioca is transparent, stir in the bananas, sugar and salt. Simmer for 10 to 15 more minutes, stirring frequently. When the bananas are broken down fairly well, remove from the heat and stir in the coconut milk until well blended. The tapioca pearls will become visible and the pudding will be the consistency of thick soup. Taste and adjust the sugar if desired.
• Cool to room temperature or slightly warmer. Stir again before serving.

CLASSIC TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Stir together the milk, tapioca, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low; cook and stir 5 minutes longer.
• Whisk 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the beaten eggs, 2 tablespoons at a time until incorporated. Stir the egg mixture back into the tapioca until well mixed. Bring the pudding to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer until the pudding becomes thick enough to evenly coat the back of a metal spoon. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. The pudding may be served hot or poured into serving dishes and refrigerated several hours until cold.

BANANA TAPIOCA (CHE CHUOI)

Steps:

• Peel the bananas. Cut them in half horizontally. Cut each piece in half again, vertically. Each banana makes four long pieces. Set aside.
• Prepare the tapioca pearls. Bring 10 cups of water to a boil in a big pot. Add the tapioca pearls to the boiling water (use one hand to pour in the tapioca and the other hand to swirl the water around with a wooden spoon - this keeps the tapioca from clumping together as it cooks). Put a lid on the pot and turn the heat to low. Cook for 10 minutes. You can tell it is done when the tapioca pearls are nearly translucent and you can just see a tiny white dot in the center of each pearl. Don't overcook, or the tapioca will completely melt.
• Strain the tapioca under cold running water. This will stop the cooking and remove excess starch (which makes the tapioca pearls stick together). Set aside and let drain.
• Prepare the tapioca sticks (bot khoai), if using. Bring 5 cups of water to a boil (rinse and reuse the pot you used to cook the tapioca pearls). Add the tapioca sticks to the boiling water and cook over medium heat for 12 minutes. They are finished they are completely translucent. Do not overcook. Strain under cold running water. Set aside and let drain.
• Rinse out the big pot, then add 2 cups of water, the drained tapioca pearls and tapioca sticks (if using). Bring to a gentle boil. Add the sugar and ½ teaspoon salt. Turn the heat to medium. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the coconut milk (don't let the coconut milk boil). Stir to gently mix. Then add the sliced apple bananas. Simmer for a few more minutes to warm the bananas. Turn off the stove.
• Prepare the salted peanut topping: grind ¼ cup peanuts and ½ teaspoon salt in a food processor. Pour into a small bowl and set aside.
• Spoon the finished banana tapioca into bowls, sprinkle the peanut-salt mixture on top, and eat! It's wonderful hot from the pot. And even better when chilled. Enjoy ^_^
