Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup white tapioca pearls or mini sago pearls, uncooked
- 6 cups water
- 1 can (13.5 ounces / 400 milliliters) coconut milk
Fruits:
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
Sweeteners:
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 to 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare a medium-sized saucepan and fill it with 1.4 liters () of water, heating over medium-high temperature until a rolling boil develops.
- Carefully introduce sago pearls into the boiling water, then immediately reduce the heat to medium-low, creating a gentle simmer.
- Stir the pearls periodically during the 15-20 minute cooking process to prevent them from adhering to the bottom of the pan, noting that small white specks might remain visible on some pearls.
- Once the cooking time concludes, remove the saucepan from the heat source but allow the pearls to remain submerged in the hot water for an additional 15-20 minutes, enabling them to transform into a completely translucent state.
- Position a colander in the sink and carefully pour the cooked sago pearls into it, rinsing thoroughly with cold water to halt the cooking process and cool the pearls rapidly.
- Transfer the cooled pearls into a clean mixing bowl, then gently fold in honey using a soft spatula, ensuring the pearls are evenly coated and do not cluster together.
Notes
- Master this pudding technique through careful pearl management for silky smooth results.
- Patience transforms dense white sago into delicate translucent gems during cooking process.
- Stirring prevents stubborn pearl clusters from forming sticky clumps at bottom of pan.
- Cold water rinse stops cooking immediately and prevents overcooking delicate pearls.
- Honey acts as gentle binding agent, creating smooth texture without overwhelming sweetness.
