What is Sodium Alginate?

Sodium alginate is a type of hydrogel that is used in many recipes as a thickening agent. It is made of sodium and alginic acid, and it is used to make things like jello, pudding and gelatins. Alginic acid is found in seaweed, so sodium alginate is also sometimes called “seaweed gelatin.”

Types of Popping Boba

There are a few different types of popping boba, each with their own unique flavor and texture. Here’s a list of the most common popping boba varieties:

Sugar Pop Boba: This type of pop has a sweet and syrupy texture thanks to the sugar syrup used in the recipe. You can find sugar pop bobas at most Asian grocery stores.

Salt Pop Boba: These bobas are made with salt as one of the main ingredients. The salt gives them a slightly salty flavor that is perfect for those who like their pops with a bit of kick. Salt pops are also available at most Asian grocery stores.

Sodium Alginate Popping Boba: This type of boba is made from sodium alginate, which is an eco-friendly and natural ingredient that helps to create a bubble-like structure when popped. Sodium alginate popping boba is also more chewy than other types of popping boba because it contains more air bubbles. You can find sodium alginate popping boba at many health food stores or online retailers.

Making the Dough: Kneading and Rolling

In order to make the pop bobas, you will need the following ingredients:

-1 cup of white flour
-1/2 cup of sugar
-3/4 tsp. of salt
-1 egg
-1 tbsps. of vegetable oil or butter
-1/2 cup of water

To make the dough, mix together the white flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add in the egg and vegetable oil or butter and stir until well combined. Then add in the water and stir until everything is just Combined. The dough should be soft but not too sticky. If it’s too sticky, add more flour, if it’s too dry add more moisture. Finally, shape the dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 340 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool before popping!

The Process: Boiling, Steaming and Pressing

The popping boba recipe calls for boiling water, sugar and sodium alginate to create a flexible film on top of the bobas. The boba will then be steamed and pressed. Boil the water in a pot until it reaches a rolling boil. Add the sugar and stir to dissolve. Slip in the alginate granules and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to allow the alginate to release its flavor. Pour half of the boiling water into a large pot or Dutch oven and add the bobas. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes, until they start to float up and turn light green. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a colander set over another pot or bowl filled with cold water. Let them cool completely before storing in an airtight container. For the popping method, fill two small cups with equal parts sugar, salt and tapioca starch (or cornstarch). Bring 1 cup of hot water to a boil in an adjacent small bowl or cup. Dip each popsicle stick into the hot water, then place it into the sugar solution. Wait 5 seconds, then remove it from the solution and gently shake off any excess Sugar solution Residual Tapioca starch will form on top of your popsicles Boba sticks can also be popped using this same method Place bobas into desired molds (cupcake liners work well), filling 3/4 full
