Ingredients

10 cups water
7 oz pearl sago, rinsed and drained
7 oz palm sugar
0.5 cup water
2 cups canned coconut milk

Directions

1

In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil. Gradually incorporate the sago, ensuring it doesn't clump. Return to a boil and then reduce heat to low. Cook until sago turns translucent, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.

2

In a small saucepan, combine palm sugar and water. Heat until sugar dissolves, strain through a fine sieve to remove any grit.

3

Refrigerate the cooked sago in jelly molds overnight. Unmold onto plates, serve coconut milk and palm sugar syrup separately alongside for a personalized pour-over delight.
