Description

Ingredients

• ¼ cup (40g) sago or tapioca pearls
• 2½ cups (600ml) coconut milk
• 1 pandan leaf
• 1/3 cup (70g) granulated sugar
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 cup (150g) peeled and seeded jackfruit (nangka), sliced into ½ inch strips
• 1 cup crushed ice (optional)

Directions

• Cook sago (or tapioca pearls) in a pot of boiling water until translucent. Sago is cooked when center is no longer opaque, about 8 minutes. Pour sago into a sieve and rinse under running water to remove excessive starch. Drain well.
