Ingredients

Sauces & Seasonings

  • 100 g rock sugar

Vegetables

  • 100 g small sago pearls

Other

  • 800 ml full-fat coconut milk
  • 200 ml evaporated milk
  • 300 ml water
  • 150 g purple yam, peeled and diced into 1cm cubes
  • 150 g taro, peeled and diced into 1cm cubes

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add sago pearls and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until translucent with a tiny white dot in the center. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  2. 2

    Drain the cooked sago pearls and rinse them thoroughly under cold running water to remove excess starch and stop the cooking process. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Place the diced purple yam and taro cubes in a steamer. Steam for 10-15 minutes, or until fork-tender.

  4. 4

    In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, evaporated milk, rock sugar, and water. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring until the rock sugar completely dissolves. Do not boil. Let it cool down to room temperature.

  5. 5

    Once the coconut milk base has cooled, add the rinsed sago pearls, steamed purple yam cubes, and steamed taro cubes. Stir well to combine. Transfer the dessert to a large bowl or individual serving bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
