Mango Sago Dessert

 

Ingredients: (serves 3)

1/4 cup uncooked white sago

1 large ripe mango

25 ml. coconut milk

70 ml. evaporated milk (add more if needed)

150 ml. chilled drinking water

1 tbsp. granulated sugar (add more if you prefer sweeter or taste for correct sweetness, depending on the sweetness of the mango)

1/2 pinch of salt

Ice cubes to serve

Methods:

1. To cook sago: Boil water in a medium pot, when water has come to a boil, add in sago.  Cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes and stirring often, to prevent the sago from sticking onto the pot.  Cook until translucent, leaving small white spots.  Turn off heat and put the lid on and let it stuff for another 15 minutes. By then, there is no white spots and the sago becomes completely transparent.  Drain on a colander/wire sieve, wash with water while stirring with a spoon until the sago pearls have cool down, then, place in a bowl and set aside.
2. Peel and cut the mangoes into small cubes, reserve some for topping.  Add the mango cubes into a blender jar, add sugar and salt.  Blend until smooth and transfer to a large bowl.
3. Add in coconut milk, evaporated milk and water.  Stir well.  If the consistency is too thick, add in more evaporated milk and chilled water.
4. Mix in cooled sago and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours until very chilled.
5. To serve, add in desired amount of ice cubes and topped with the reserved mango cubes.
6. Serve chilled.
