We always buy this brand of bubble to prepare dessert. It’s super easy to make as you simply need to microwave for about 3 minutes. Whether it’s added into homemade milk tea or soft pudding tofu, it’s definitely a nice refreshing!

Microwave for 60-90 seconds until cooked through. It's very chewy and doesn't melt, with a soft center and not too sweet. Be careful, it might roll out. I would repurchase.
