i saw this and i quickly started making it. it wasn’t till after when i watched when you guys said it didn’t taste good. for my boba, it didn’t have a weird taste, just a weird texture. it tasted pretty good and when cooking the dough on the stove, it automatically became dough for me. also, i love you and your mom!

[@W8LLOW]

That’s why it cornstarch?

[@TotallyNotJuniper]

Yes it’s corn starch not tapioca

Yes but if you look in the gluten free section there is usually tapioca FLOUR not starch hope that helps 😁

I randomly stumbled on your videos and now have a craving for boba. I'm having a boba-making fest with friends tomorrow, so that should help!

[@mercuryblackmon3249]

I feel like the pearls are better when you add a flavor instead of water. (Like I used coffee instead of water ☕) Or cut up some strawberries and puree them and get the chucks out to use instead of water. (This method takes longer and requires a lot more gentle attention but it's also very good)

[@madi_6665]

Her mom is so cute! I loved her straw commercial! Love your vids meimei, as a boba addict, I definitely enjoy them. Thanks for making COVID a bit better! Keep up the spectacular work

[@valeriejkelly]

[@khristypatrick2577]

Thanks Meimei! Great content and perfect delivery.

[@nathanielbusby2515]

You may have to stir it more aggressively because of the cornstarch, it's a reaction where if it is let alone with liquid it is runny but if it is being forcefully moved it solidifies

[@lorrainecray3965]

Thank you Meimei, you are just the best, you have just saved so many of us going through the torcher of making this, you & your mom are just sweet Angles. I have a question 🙋🏽‍♀️ have you ever made a boba 🧋 drink using caramelised sugar sauce ? The recipe for this is on KZbin “Queen G’s recipes. 🥰 just seen it before coming to your channel for a binge watch, oh & also my grandson loved his boba package I bought him for Christmas along with many of your recipes, you were my Christmas gift inspiration 🥰😍

[@Priyanka-vr2yi]

Thank you for this video! I was about to make some boba using cornstarch but glad I found this before I could

[@imacat3383]

Using glutenous rice flour works! Especially if you want to make your own boba ice cream. It is basically brown sugar mochi :P.

[@spidermansimp32]

I want to make boba, but they don't have it in my country. 🥲

Flour is mostly starch.

Really appreciate this! So hard to find tapioca starch in the uk and I really wanted to see if it was worth trying what I can get at the supermarket which is cornstarch 😁 you explained the texture so perfectly 👌💕

[@vixt0r1aa]

when cornstarch is mixed with water (or any other liquid) it makes this cool solid/liquid consistency, its hard when u hit it or when u let it sit it melts!! super fun to play with

Oh add a tiny bit at a time! Same thing happened to me!

[@idek.anymore_]

Same lol

[@kwaxmi]

since i have a vietnamese mom, we often have tapioca starch lol

[@___EREN__YEAGER___]

See you take 1tb of brown sugar , 42ml of water and 3tb of cornstarch and mix well I added a bit of colour the keep on low heat and cook within two minutes for me it started to thicken . Then it will be a bit sticky so put it on a plate and knead it with a bit of cornstarch then cut into pieces and add into boiling water and cook until all are floating then strain the excess water and make brown sugar syrup and cook well until sticky and serve with your favourite tea ..

[@cheesehater101]

It happens a lot! I suggest using hot water and slowly mixing the starch

This realy helps because I’m alurgic to rice and my mums strickt about what I can have thxxxxxxx so much

[@bloody_rainbow3928]

I undercooked mine but it still worked pretty good I would recommend waiting until you can touch it without it getting stuck to your hands at all Update: I mushed them all together and cooked an extra 15 minutes and it turned out great in future I would definitely add some flavor tho since it was pretty bland and wasn't absorbing the syrup like normal boba maybe I overcooked idk
