Ingredients

Sago Pudding and Sauce

Preparation

Preparation Steps

1. Prepare the Sago

In a pot, bring 500 ml of water to a boil. Add the sago pearls and cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sago becomes translucent and soft, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes.

2. Prepare the Palm Sugar Syrup

In a small saucepan, add the palm sugar and 100 ml of water. Heat over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Once dissolved, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

3. Prepare the Coconut Milk

In a separate saucepan, heat the coconut milk with a pinch of salt over low heat. Stir continuously until warmed through but do not let it boil.

4. Assemble the Dish

In serving bowls, add a portion of the cooked sago. Drizzle with the warm palm sugar syrup and then top with the coconut milk. Serve immediately.
