For anyone trying to salvage their oobleck- I added a small ball of the failed batch to some more sugar and water got it to the gelatinous stage, then added in the rest of the batch. Took a while kneading but was able to save it!!

I tried to revive it ( Tapioca Flour is expensive) by adding more warm water. Then it became a sauce with rock hard crumbles or candy. I was so annoyed it went straight into the trash. I also was annoyed because as I stated that type of flour was very expensive. Next time I will try this. Buttttt Wish Me Luck…Thanks again.

Yes! Try to keep it on a VERY low heat. Only bring it to a low medium when trying to get it sticky. Once it is sticky, remove from the heat then add in your 2nd bit of tapioca, to be safe, add it a little at a time. If too much water evaporated you might not need the full amount. Hope this helps! :)

After shaping, shake them in some tapioca starch to prevent sticking, then seal in a bag. They stay good for a couple months this way! Then boil and serve when ready. You may need to add more time to the cooking time, just be sure to check the texture of one before dumping the hot water. 😊

Hi! Are you using my measurements or another recipe? Too much sugar can cause them to shrink or melt. When making the boba, make sure you avoid oobleck dough by cooking until it is a sticky blob before adding the rest of the tapioca. If you have a microwave, it is easier to cook in there! Check out my most recent boba vids, I use the microwave method.

I'm so frustrated with it, because first time I made it, it was perfect, and now 3 times in a row I keep getting the wrong thing. I checked out this video after 2 ooblecked attempts, and when I started making it today it looked right, however when I started kneading it turned to oobleck again. I tried melting a portion of it as I saw in another comment, but that didn't help much, and then I melted it all and got it into the gelatinous consistency. I did manage to make boba from that, even though it was hard to work with, but I'd really appreciate if anyone has any tips on how to avoid this long and frustrating process. The video did a great job explaining it, I'm just confused on where I went wrong.

That's strange! Be sure once you get your tapioca to gelatinize, be sure all the liquid goes away, so it is entirely sticky. If you have a microwave, you can also check out some of my newer videos where I use the microwave instead. Getting the tapioca mixture to be gelatinous before adding any more starch is crucial! Without gelatinizing, the consistency will be oobleck. I hope this is helpful!

Hi! I do a better job explaining it in my more recent boba videos! Usually I start it very low, then once the first bit of tapioca starch is mixed in, I'll turn up the heat a little to like a medium/low. Once it becomes sticky and gelatinizes, turn off the heat and add remaining tapioca starch. When boiling, add the pearls and wait until they float. Once floating, turn the heat to low and cover. After the first 10-15 mins, remove from heat but still let sit in the water for another 10-15 minutes. I hope this is helpful!

So when it gets to that state, you have to start over and make sure the heat gelatinizes the tapioca starch. Sorry I realize that can be misleading!
