Coconut sago pudding is a refreshing, dessert enjoyed across Asia, loved for its chewy sago pearls and creamy coconut milk. Here’s a simple recipe to recreate this treat at home.
Ingredients:
- 100g sago pearls
- 400ml coconut milk (fresh or canned)
- 200ml water
- 3 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- A pinch of salt
Steps:
1. Cook the Sago: Rinse sago under cold water. Bring 500ml water to a boil, add sago, and stir gently. Cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes until the centers turn translucent. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
2. Rinse and Soak: Drain the sago and rinse under cold water to remove excess starch. Soak in cold water for 5 minutes, then drain again.
3. Prepare Coconut Milk: In a saucepan, heat coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Do not boil.
4. Combine: Mix the drained sago into the coconut milk mixture. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
5. Set and Serve: Pour into molds or bowls. Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm. Garnish with mango, tropical fruits, or extra coconut milk before serving.
This versatile dessert can be customized with ingredients like pandan extract or taro. Enjoy its smooth texture and tropical flavors!
