🍮 Sago Pudding
Sago pudding is a sweet dessert made from sago pearls, milk, and sugar. It has a soft, creamy texture and is popular in many Asian and Western cuisines.
🧾 Main Ingredient
The key ingredient is Sago, which comes from the Sago Palm. The starch is formed into small pearls that become translucent when cooked.
🥣 Ingredients
- ½ cup sago pearls
- 2 cups milk
- ¼–½ cup sugar
- 1 egg (optional, for richer pudding)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Optional toppings:
- Raisins
- Coconut milk
- Fresh fruits
- Cinnamon or nutmeg
👩🍳 How to Make Sago Pudding
1️⃣ Soak the sago
Soak the sago pearls in water for 15–20 minutes.
2️⃣ Cook the sago
Boil in water for about 10–15 minutes, stirring until the pearls turn translucent.
3️⃣ Add milk and sugar
Drain excess water and add milk, sugar, and salt. Cook on low heat while stirring.
4️⃣ Add egg (optional)
Beat the egg and slowly mix it into the hot pudding while stirring continuously to avoid scrambling.
5️⃣ Finish
Add vanilla and cook until the pudding thickens.
6️⃣ Serve
Serve warm or chilled with toppings.
