Instant Pot BOBA // How to cook Boba (Tapioca Pearls) 

You're a life saver! Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I'm made boba for the first time tonight and the instructions on the packaging weren't as clear as yours! I love how you go step by step (and I needed those details, I wouldn't have known about soggy boba! NOT SOGGY BOBA D: ) You made my first time making boba tea a breeze. I'm now enjoying my first of many home cooked boba teas without leaving the house! Again, thank you soooooo much!

I’m so glad there’s an easier way to makes these than in front of the stove stirring and draining for over an hour!

That feeling when u got all the ingredients

love this method so much, i used the bolle brand a while back with the regular boiling method and they came out hard. the instant pot method makes them so nice and chewy like an authentic boba shop!!

Lol my mom and I were just wondering how to cook boba in the instant pot. This video came out at the perfect time! Thanks Angel! Stay safe and healthy!

I'm so glad I found you!!! I was dreading the time this was going to take by boiling over the stove, but found this and it came out amazing!!

You are so missed ...I love your energy and you just has always gave me positive vibes ... Well I am from Egypt and Boba is not available her (I think !) , I have never seen it in any café /coffee shop or supermarket.. But I am intrigued so much to try it ... please keep posting I LOOVVEEE Asian cuisine

Please more Boba videos my daughter loves it. I'll be making it soon for her!! Thank you for sharing

I love your recipes and use them all the time, please make more videos! Instant Pot twists on traditional Chinese recipes is such a great way to learn new things during Covid quarantine

Worked like a gem! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe!

It's so good to see you back

tried this STEP BY STEP and my boba was a success!!! thank you so much for this video! :)

I'm going to follow this method! Thank you!

It looks delicious.

So update : To make things faster, I boiled the water in the water cooker. Transfered the water into the IP in a Saute program. Let it simmer a bit. Put half a cup of tapioca pearls and stir. Press Cancel. Close lid and seal. Pressure cook for 3-4 minutes (I did 4 though). After cooking, wait 4 more minutes before releasing the pressure. Strain in running cold water. Transfer in a cup or bowl and put honey and mix to prevent from sticking. That's all folks 😂

Happy to see you back on ... stay strong and healthy!

This just saved me 😩❤️ thank you!!!

Thanks for the helpful boba tips

Hi Angel, I always enjoy watching your videos. You are an excellent cook who also has such a gracious demeanor. Please keep us updated with your grandparents' health. Best wishes to you and your family during this difficult time. Have a great one!

Welcome back Angel. Nice to see you back. Stay safe, sane and healthy. 😉

Welcome back!!! Missed you!!

Always waiting for your videos

Great advice..thank you so much

ok i’m going to try this makes the most sense

looks good sis. great sharing. keep uploading.

Thank you ☺️ stay safe 💕

Oh how I wish to go to Tapei after all this is over and have some Boba Tea. Yummy. Right now I settle to go to a local Boba tea place but not right now. I must be patient. My focus needs more focus. :D

loooks so good

I'm going to make this RIGHT NOW

Seems east! I love boba! Thanks for the help! I subscribed nice video!

It worked!

Best video ever

Love this simple and easy recipe for my instant pot. I have no Asian stores near me and Amazon wants to charge me $50 (CAD) for that exact brand and 2 pound bag. I'll have to find some store in the city next to me.

hello Angel your so cute thanks for sharing this tapioca pearls.I love your positive energy.

おいしそうですね！！

Exactly what I was looking for. I brought tapioca pearls few months back but they take way too long to cook on stove when boiling. I ended up throwing away cuz gas means money. Know I have an instant pot and wondered if I could just pressure cook them and it would be much faster!

This looks awesome, Angel! :) You should post more videos. I've been subscribed to you for a long time now, and always look forward to your videos. Have a nice week, and stay healthy! :) P.S. Soggy boba sounds gross, haha!

So happy to see you again! Also, thank you for this! I have been wanting to make boba in my IP for a while, but didn’t know what recipe to trust. Love that this is a smaller amount too! ❤️

All the bubble tea cafes are closed so I went to my local grocery store to pick up my own to make it myself 😋! It’s white like yours. I noticed it turned black towards the end. Is that what I should expect, too when it’s done?

That user error part was hilarious. I have that problem too. 😂

Nice to see you.

Hi Angel, love this idea. Wonder if I could use this concept at the store. Next time try soaking the cooked boba in a warm bath of water, brown sugar and honey. :). Be safe

your video’s make me so happy, i love everything about them !

I literally want an instant pot just for this recipe LOL

hello! Thank you for sharing. What kind of tea are you using? :)

I would love to learn how to make passionfruit green tea with boba.

I miss you 😘 so much how is your grandparents hope they stay safe

avocado 🥑 smoothie w boba!!

glad to see u are doing well. take care and have some mochi ice cream. 😎😋😀

Please make a video on cheese foam tea or Hokkaido milk tea!

Can we make it one time and keep it? And how long can it keep after cook?

Can I double the amount of boba if I have a larger Instant Pot? Does the timing change?

Goodpm angel.can you make ji pai i miss it so much..

have you experiment with different amounts of boba? seems like a 1/4 cup seems too little for the amount of work. have you tried larger amount of boba say 1/2 cup or even 1 cup ? btw I am using the 8 quart instapot...thanks, love your videos

Angel, thanks for this video. After spending an embarrassing amount of money this past summer at various bubble tea stores for myself and my kids, I decided to try and come up with a more cost effective solution. Research suggests that the Bolle brand of boba are available at a local Asian grocery store in my city which is nice as Canadians usually get screwed when it comes to things like this. They also have the E-Fa and Wufuyuan brand but I like how you pointed out (in your other video) that the Bolle brand has only 3 ingredients vs various other ingredients in the "instant" brands. I've also got an Instant Pot at my disposal along with a good house insurance policy on the off chance I blow something up. The "brown sugar" tea's I've been getting from stores appears to consist of regular milk and then a spoonful of these pearls in a special brown sugar and cocoa sauce. Would it be reasonable to assume that I can make this "sauce" out of brown sugar, cocoa powder and water? Put it in a saucepan and heat it on the stove until it's mixed together? Have you ever tried a sauce like this where you can share the ingredients? Thanks James

How do you store the boba if u made too much in a batch?

Can I double the recipe in the instant pot? Thank you!!!

How long does the boba stay fresh? After all the steps can I store to put in drinks throughout the day?

Can i cook 1kg boba in instant pot? How many minutes for 1kg to cook? Thanks

Can you make a whole bunch and save them in ur fridge?

Can you make the whole bag in the instant pot

I've tried her method (followed to a tee) twice and both times it came perfectly: chewy and soft tapioca! The only problem I have is when mixing it with homemade milk tea, the pearls are all stuck to each other no matter how many times I stir. Any tips how not to make them stick? 😲

Do you know what is the max boba pearls we can cook in the instapot? i think my family will need more than 1/4 cup :D

How do you store uncooked boba?

you have no idea how this changed my life with cooking boba....how about agar boba - Crystal boba to cook. thx

Can u have it hot and can u have it cold too like in bubble tea,shops?

I followed these instructions exactly and the boba came out undercooked. What can I do with it now? Cook again under pressure, but for less time? Simmer on saute?

what kind of tea bag did you use for your milk tea?

Ahhhhh! I’ve tried this twice and it followed your all your directions. In the end, it turns to mush. I’m using the brand you recommended. Do you have any advice?

Can you use this for homemade boba instead of store bought?

Your so freaking cute! Just subscribed

My instant pot dont have 'saute' button, any other button recommended?

Do you know why the boba 'melt' if it is not boiling water?

Se ve bien aunque mi esposa no la usa

Where have you been??

faster to just hit up a boba spot

The boba I bought only requires 3 minutes of boiling and 3 minutes of simmer. They came out just like the real thing...

Oh no! I tried your way and it turned out super melted!! Why?

Coconut smoothie boba

I've never seen boba that inexpensive. Where do you live?

So it's waiting for 15 mins for the water to boil, 15 mins cook time, 15 mins pressure release and 15 mins letting it sit in sugar? 1 hour total. That doesn't seem very quick.

45 minute boba... gangster

Tried this twice and my pearls came out mushy

Taro milk bubble tea

I followed this exactly and they just turned to goo…not sure what happened!

Black tapioca is a bit deceiving. It doesn't show you that it didn't cook through because it blocked the light from shining through. You need to cook it twice, 3 minutes each time. You can verify that with the white pearl because you will notice it only cooks half way the first time.

Mine totally melted, unfortunately. Maybe I cooked too many…

Not 15 min... Between waiting 10-15 mind for boiling water, the the actual 15 min to cook it then the 15 min before pressure release that's 45 mins alone... Making Boba on the stove in a saucepan is much faster in

Brown sugar boba

Pre boil your water in a kettle would be faster

15min sautee/boil 15min before it actually starts high pressure 15min high pressure 15min wait ...I'm gonna go out and buy instead. 🙃

Not all boba cooked in 15 minutes

Why you just upload videos too seldom? Please have move vids!! Please, please, please!!!

I thought you're gonna make it from scratch

boba movie you cooke oit ivanne
