About Sago
Tapioca sago is a small seed with a white color. There are two sizes: medium size is 3-4 mm and small size is 1-2 mm. It is used as a food ingredient for many kinds of dishes and desserts. It can be kept as long as 3-6 months outside the refrigerator.
INGREDIENTS
Serves 5-6
375 gm green sago
112.5 gm sugar
28 ml oil
For the filling
300 gm red beans
8 cups water
1. To prepare the filling, put the red beans and water into a bowl, bring to the boil, leave to cook over a low heat for 1½ hours until the red beans turn soft, and all water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and leave to cool, then crush into paste. Set aside.
2. Meanwhile, place the green sago in a bowl, soak in water for 1 hour, rinse and drain, then transfer to a pan, add in the sugar and oil, blend well.
4. Meanwhile, take a small amount of red bean paste; knead into balls, set aside.
5. Wrap the steamed sago with the red bean ball, then knead into balls again. Brush a little oil on the sago balls.
6. Arrange the wrapped sago ball into the greased steamer, steam for further 8 minutes. Serve.
Tips:
1 When steaming the sago, you need to open the lid after the first 2 minutes of the steaming, stir quickly. After that, repeat this step once every minute to prevent overcooking and ensure the good looking of it.
2 Brush a little oil to the sago balls as it will have a shinny finish.
