Fruity Strawberry Sago Delight (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
600 g fresh strawberries, finely diced
02 -
400 g coconut milk (1 can)
03 -
50 g granulated sugar, adjust to taste
04 -
150 g small tapioca pearls
05 -
225 g coconut jellies (also called coconut gel or nata de coco), drained
# Instructions:
01 -
Add 300 g (half) of the diced strawberries to a blender with the coconut milk and sugar. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust sugar if necessary. Pour the mixture into a large serving bowl and chill in the fridge while preparing tapioca pearls.
02 -
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add tapioca pearls and stir. Boil uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, cover, and let steam for 10 minutes until tapioca pearls are translucent.
03 -
Drain tapioca pearls in a fine mesh sieve and rinse thoroughly with cold water to stop cooking. If not using immediately, keep submerged in cold water. Otherwise, drain and add to the chilled strawberry mixture.
04 -
Stir in the remaining diced strawberries, coconut jellies, and optional add-ins. Adjust consistency by adding water as needed. Serve cold.
# Notes:
01 -
Tapioca pearls absorb water during cooking, so use a large pot with plenty of water to prevent sticking.
02 -
The sweetness of the dish depends on the strawberries; adjust sugar to taste.
03 -
Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days; stir in water to adjust thickness before serving.
