Ingredients:
1. Sago Pearls: – 200 grams of sago pearls
2. Coconut Milk Mixture: – 1 cup of thick coconut milk – A pinch of salt
3. Gula Melaka Syrup: – 200 grams of Gula Melaka (palm sugar) – shaved – 1 cup of water – 1-2 pandan leaves (screwpine leaves), knotted for extra aroma
Instructions:
1. Preparing the Sago Pearls: – Bring a pot of water to boil and add the sago pearls. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking together. Continue boiling for about 10-15 minutes until the sago turns translucent. – Once cooked, remove the sago from heat and strain using a fine-mesh sieve. Rinse thoroughly under cold running water to halt the cooking and remove excess starch. Set aside in a bowl.
2. Preparing the Gula Melaka Syrup: – In a saucepan, combine the shaved Gula Melaka, water, and pandan leaves. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely. This will produce an incredibly fragrant syrup. – Remove the pandan leaves and strain if needed to ensure a smooth syrup. Allow it to cool.
3. Preparing the Coconut Milk: – In a small pan, gently heat the coconut milk with a pinch of salt until warmed through. Avoid boiling as this may cause the coconut milk to curdle.
4. Assembling the Dessert: – Place a serving of sago pearls in a bowl or glass. – Drizzle the Gula Melaka syrup generously over the sago. – Top with a layer of warm coconut milk. You can add more syrup or coconut milk based on your preference for sweetness and creaminess.
A Note on Enjoyment: Sago Gula Melaka is best enjoyed slightly chilled or at room temperature. You can prepare it in advance and store it in the refrigerator, making it an ideal dessert for gatherings.
