Sago Pudding (gula melaka and coconut milk)

                                                      Absolutely delicious dessert...

Recipe: Poh's Kitchen
Ingredients
One cup sago
2 litre water
3 pandan leaves tied into a knot
OR 1/2 teaspoon pandan aroma paste
1 egg white, beaten to soft peaks
3/4 cup (150g) gula melaka ( dark palm sugar), chopped or shaved
1 and 1/2 cup coconut milk ( if very thick, water down)
1/4 teaspoon salt


Method ( for the sago)
Boil water, cook the sago until it turns completely transclucent ( about 15 to 20 minutes for mine).
Drain the sago, wash thoroughly with cold water (remove the pandan leaves).
Fold in half a beaten egg white ( I used whole egg white instead) and a few drops of pandan paste through.
Scoop the sago into individual moulds that have been greased or into one large one.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge.

cook until it is completely transclucent, 15 to 20 minutes for mine

drain, wash away the starch thoroughly

mixing in the soft peak beaten egg white, to separate the sago here..

well mixed.

scoop into greased moulds, chill in fridge to set.

Method (for the gula melaka and coconut milk)
On medium heat, melt the gula melaka in a small pot with a tiny drop of water. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
Boil the canned coconut milk and if necessary water down with some cows milk so it is in the consistency of pouring cream.  Allow to cool to chill in fridge.

To serve: turn out the sago from the mould/s and spoon over palm sugar and coconut milk to taste.
