Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Sago Pearls: These tiny pearls are key for texture; soak them beforehand for optimal results.
  • Fresh Strawberries: Use ripe strawberries for the best sweetness; their vibrant color will enhance presentation.
  • Coconut Milk: Choose unsweetened coconut milk for rich creaminess without overwhelming sweetness.
  • Water: Essential for cooking sago; using filtered water can elevate the taste.
  • Sugar or Honey: You can use either; adjust according to your desired sweetness level.
  • Lime Juice: A splash adds brightness; store-bought works too if fresh limes aren’t available.
  • Mint Leaves (optional): For garnish; mint adds a fresh aroma that elevates the overall experience.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Prepare the Sago Pearls: Begin by rinsing your sago pearls under cold water until they run clear. Soak them in warm water for about 30 minutes to soften.

Cook the Sago Pearls: In a saucepan, boil water over medium heat. Add soaked sago pearls and stir gently until translucent—this usually takes about 10-15 minutes.

Make Coconut Sauce: In another pot, combine coconut milk with sugar or honey over low heat until dissolved—don’t let it boil! Stir in lime juice for added zest.

Combine Ingredients: Once sago is cooked and cooled slightly, drain excess water. Mix it into the coconut sauce thoroughly—this is where magic happens!

Add Strawberries!: Fold in chopped fresh strawberries gently so they don’t get mushy. Their brightness will shine against creamy sago.

Chill Before Serving: Transfer everything into serving bowls and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving—this lets flavors meld beautifully!
