So it's called "Abuk Abuk Sagu"

Mummy was sharing her success in cooking the sago in the green bean soup and recalled this sago dessert which i made during my secondary school days after my home economics class. All of us recalled that it was really yummy but i simply couldn't find the recipe anywhere.
Today, with my super googling skill i think i found the recipe! So it's called Abuk Abuk Sago. =)

Ingredients:
150g sago pearls
80g - 90g freshly grated coconut + salt to taste
1 tbsp water
80g gula melaka (chopped up)

alternative: (1/2 tsp pandan paste) - divide sago into 2 portion / wrap in banana leaves


Method:

1. Wash sago pearls, soak for 10-15 minutes then strain.
2. Add grated coconut, salt and water to the sago pearls, mix well.
3. Spoon 1.5 tablespoon of sago mixture into mould, add in 1 teaspoonful of gula melaka, top it up with 1 tablespoon of sago mixture.
4. Steam on high heat for 20 minutes or till cooked.
