This Strawberry Taho is less on the saucy side and more on the fresh strawberry side. It's sweetened with a few spoons of strawberry jam.
I had a craving for this the other day and happen to have everything I needed for this super simple snack. Packed with fresh strawberries and super silky soft tofu makes for a quick dish to put together.
Strawberry Taho is famous in Baguio where strawberries are abundant. Who knew right? I believe the it was brought to the Philippines via the Galleon trade, but didn't really take off until the Americans colonized the islands.
There used to be a US Army base there called Camp John Hay, which was mainly used for recreation purposes by the US Military. I remember going there a few times. The American's loved strawberries and was excited it could grow in that cool climate in the mountains.
It's now transformed into a holiday destinations for Filipinos wanting a break for the humidity.
Ingredients
Strawberries - These can be hit or miss when it's not summer time. Use as many as you wish. I used about 4 large strawberries and chopped them up.
Super Soft Tofu - You can only get these at Asian grocery stores. I don't know why. Please make sure you use super soft silky tofu so that it has the texture of pudding, not super hard tofu. It makes a difference when you are eating it sweet like in this Strawberry Taho.
Strawberry Jam - Usually some kind of strawberry syrup is used in place of arnibal. In this recipe to keep it simple you can just use strawberry jam. You can use lots or just a little depending on how sweet you want it to be.
