For anyone wondering, there’s tapioca starch in Safeway. There’s a pound for 3.99$ that’s cheaper than any other stores basically.

@@feedmeimei maybe instead of flour try sugar?

[@baddieshrekacrylics9038]

@@lildumpling9064 that won’t work. The flower is what makes it a dough consistency. If you used sugar instead, there would only be sugar, water and brown sugar in the recipe. 🤍✨

I love the relationship u and ur mom have…it’s truly amazing 🤩

[@comesm]

i really enjoy these videos! - as a Bay Area resident married to a chinese spouse this helps with picking good spots that my wife loves. i would highly highly recommend doing a review of food spots in Richmond, BC. Chinese and asian cuisine in general doesn’t really get much better than there (at least in north america).

[@amandaf3663]

I’ve never had boba but because of your content I am going to try it. I live in a rural area so I am going to try it on my next trip. I’m excited. I travel quite frequently so it’ll be a fun addition.

[@johannissquiggleforth]

This was great! its not as soft and nice as tapioca but its a lot easier and faster to make. It fullfilled my craving!

[@rinahorie7968]

Ahhh, in Fremont there used to be a boba shop called 'One Tea' and they had mochi balls as a topping option and it was always sooooo gooood with strawberry milk tea. There's a chewiness to them that you can't get from boba (and it was never too soft or too hard). I'm so sad one tea is closed (sobbing). I can't wait to try your version! Hehe. (Also, your mom saying "very legit" is my absolute fav. haha). Thanks for sharing this video :D It was fun to watch.

oh i have a suggestion! its not related to actually making boba, but more like how about you recreate your favourite boba drinks at home?? you and your mom are so cute together!!!

[@cb.on.yt22]

you can boil a small portion of the dough and knead it back in to stop the dough from breaking and crumbling! it becomes a really awesome texture to work with

[@jettaadmas1038]

I would definitely try this I have made the dessert MochiKo balls with coconut milk and even made the water chestnut gems... I think my MochiKo balls might have been just a little to big because they also seemed kinda spongy but tasted pretty good... Thanks for sharing another video.

[@MrJrlilman]

Please remember flour has to be cooked before eating. As someone else commented it might be good to bake the flour itself first and then use it but I'm not too sure if it would cook enough getting boiled. Probably wouldn't be the best to use as boba.

[@YeenQueenTTV]

That's wheat flour you're thinking of. Rice flour is very different, especially this type.

[@MrJrlilman]

@@YeenQueenTTV Yes, but she said she wanted to try regular flour that's why I commented that.

[@organicmangoes]

When you called her over for the taste test and she said “woohoo” 🥺😭 she sounded like Mario she’s so cute lol y’all are the cutest bffs ever!!!

[@honey_bear4932]

It doesn't work with regular rice flour, I know bc I tried it last week lmao! ( trust me, I made it into a dough but it tasted like nothing and the so called "qq" texture wasn't there!)

If this works, it will be revolutionary to me Edit 1: I already love your mom lol, look how calm, collected, and supportive she is 😍 Edit 2: so when you say it's spongier chewy rather than bouncy chewy, do you think it's fair to say it's like a marshmallow? Because if it is, I'm 🥰 trying it! Lol Btw your mom is really cute lol I love both of your demeanor and relationship with each other

Hi Mei Mei! After all of these different varieties of boba, could you please do a standard milk tea? I love your videos. Thanks!

[@flor3224]

Excellent! I was looking forward to this video. I think glutinous rice flour is the best substitute for tapioca. Have you tried potato starch? If you try wheat that would be the only one remaining. I think potato starch may work better than corn or wheat :)

[@raghad4653]

WHAT THE SECRET OF YOUR SKIN AND HAIR omg mashallah

[@fshyphotoIG]

I love when your mom does the Boba straw add and says "and the description is down below" 💗💗😂

[@elinkapham701]

So i wanna help you a little bit, i really love your videos and i decided to tell you how i do my own boba, All you need is tapioca starch it's on you how much you put, put it in your bowl and put cocoa in it for color, add your sugar put as much as you want i put in 1 cup of tapioca starch and 2tbs of sugar or a little more, then you put hot water in but a little at a time till it forms a dough don't make it too wet if it's wet put more starch, when the dough it's done just make them into balls and put them back in the bowl where you made the dough , put tapioca starch in the bowl so it doesn't stick together after you are done making the balls make sure that there is no starch left if there is sift the balls so there is no more starch , boil your water and put them in don't forget to mix it so it doesn't stick , when they rise to the top lower your temperature and put a lid on , cook it for about 5 more min, in the mean time paper a bowl with cold water put some ice too if you feel like it , it will make it chewy but don't let them in there for toooooo long taste it if it's chewy enough for you , then just drain it ? If i can say it like that Now the syrup if you wanna be lazy just mix hot water with sugar but not too much water cuz we want it thick but i recommend using a sauce pan and boil 1/3 cup of sugar and and 1/4 cup of water but do it by eye cuz you will boil it till it thickens after that just put the boba in and you're done :) i hope it will taste good , hope you will try it 😗✌️ and if you feel lazy don't make balls out of them just cuz it and boil it cuz no one will notice anyways 😂 ily ❤️

[@elinkapham701]

Also make sure it's hot , boil the water twice if you aren't sure if it's hot enough cuz it can end up breaking or it will form the thing that is called oobleck? Or what is it😂

[@bunnizriri]

I’ve tried this and it tastes so good! I even tried sugar with it and it’s so hard 😅 love your vids tho 💖

I recommend potato starch, the color turns out a bit weird but the consistency is pretty spot on!

[@ILuvMaths]

If you watch the mochi recipes, they always heat the flour+water mixture a bit - I wonder if that you have made the dough not break as much.

[@silversparklelight]

Im exited to try this out! 😃❤

[@logicvs.everything7230]

As someone who has issues with the feeling of tapioca starch this looks like a way better option for making at home
