Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a medium pot. Add sago and cook uncovered for 10 minutes, until translucent. Turn off heat, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water for 30 seconds to stop cooking.
Prepare a steamer over medium heat. Place tofu on a heatproof plate and steam for 8–10 minutes. Remove carefully and drain excess water.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, water, and vanilla. Simmer for about 5 minutes until thick and syrupy.
To assemble, add a large spoonful of tofu, 1–2 tablespoons of brown sugar syrup, and a large spoonful of sago in a medium glass. Repeat layers until full. Makes 2–3 servings. Serve warm and enjoy!
