Cook the pearls.
- Boil water in a big pot. Ensure that the water is 5x times the amount of your uncooked pearls.
- Once the water is boiling, drop your pearls into the pot. Stir them once in a while, so they don’t stick at the bottom of the pot. Continue cooking until all the pearls are floating, then cover the pot. Cook in high heat for 15 minutes.
