Ingredients

Sauces & Seasonings

  • 80 g granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch salt

Vegetables

  • 100 g small sago pearls

Other

  • 1 liter water
  • 200 g taro, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 400 ml coconut milk (canned, full-fat)
  • 100 ml evaporated milk

Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil a large pot of water. Add small sago pearls and cook until mostly translucent with a tiny white dot in the center. Turn off the heat, cover, and let it sit until fully translucent.

  2. 2

    Drain the cooked sago and rinse thoroughly under cold running water to remove excess starch and prevent sticking. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Steam or boil the diced taro until very tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, evaporated milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Do not boil.

  5. 5

    Add the cooked sago pearls and tender taro chunks to the warm coconut milk mixture. Stir gently to combine. Serve warm or chilled.
