Ingredients

• 0.5 cups Small pearl tapioca
• 4 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the tapioca pearls in cold water and let them soak for 10 minutes in a small bowl. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In the bowl of your rice cooker, combine the soaked tapioca pearls, whole milk, and sugar. Stir well to ensure the sugar dissolves.

Step 3

Turn the rice cooker to the 'Porridge' or 'Cook' setting and close the lid. Cook for about 40-50 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the tapioca from sticking to the bottom.

Step 4

While the tapioca is cooking, beat the eggs in a small bowl. After the tapioca has become translucent and the mixture begins to thicken, temper the eggs by adding about 1/2 cup of the hot tapioca mixture to the eggs while stirring constantly.

Step 5

Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture back into the rice cooker, stirring constantly to ensure a smooth consistency.

Step 6

Add the vanilla extract and salt, and stir well. Close the lid and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Once done, turn off the rice cooker and allow the pudding to cool for 5-10 minutes. Stir again before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm for a comforting dessert, or let it chill in the refrigerator for a few hours for a cold treat.
