Can I accelerate the prep time for small tapioca pearls?
I've got a package of Reese small pearl tapioca in front of me, ready to make tapioca pudding, but I forgot to factor in the recommended overnight soak. Is it possible to accelerate the process by soaking in warm or boiling water or by substituting a longer cooking time?
Best Answer
Yes, it works without presoaking. You have to cook them for quite a long time until they become quickly translucent, the small ones will need about 30 minutes at a moderate boil. It is not optimal, as the outside will become mushier in this long cooking time, but there are people who don't mind the difference.

Can you quick soak tapioca pearls?
No, not if you're making boba or bubble tea. The quickest path to delicious bubble tea is by boiling the pearls, not soaking them. If you do choose to soak the pearls overnight, you won't have to boil them.How do you make tapioca pearls 5 minutes?
Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a deep pot, and add the tapioca. Bring it to a boil again, cover, and turn the heat down to medium low. Cook covered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. After 15 minutes, turn off the heat, keep the pot covered, and allow to sit for another 15 minutes.How do you make tapioca pearls fast?
