Ingredients:

 

• 300g Sago/Tapioca Pearls ( I'm using green color sago)
• 150g Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla essence
• 1tbsp corn flour
• ½ tsp Salt
• 150g finely grated coconut (or desiccated coconut)



Method:

1. Soak sago in cold water for 60 minutes; wash a few times to get rid of the starch and drain.
2. Mix in sugar, corn flour and add in 1tsp of Vanilla essence, stir to blend well.
3. Pour the sago mixture into a steaming tray, steam until cooked (the sago turns transparent in appearance), about 30 minutes.
4. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool down.
5. Cut into bite size cube and coat with grated or desiccated coconut and serve.

Tips       

​

​ 

• If dried desiccated coconut is used, best to soften the coconut before use.   
• Pour out sufficient amount of desiccated coconut in a plate, add in ½ tsp salt and sprinkle some water onto it and microwave heat or steam to soften the coconut.
