Mango Sago Food

MANGO SAGO

Steps:

• In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the mini pearl tapioca (don't add it before the water is at a full boil!). Stir and bring it to boil again. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the tapioca is completely transparent, which means they're fully cooked.
• When the tapioca is cooked through, drain, rinse in cold water to cool, then soak in a bowl of cold water and set aside.
• Meanwhile, peel the mango, trimming to remove the center pit. Set aside a large handful of nice chunks for topping. The rest will be blended.
• In a blender, add the coconut milk, condensed milk, vanilla extract, and mango. Blend until smooth, and transfer to a large bowl. At this stage, if you like your dessert cold, chill the mango mixture for at least an hour before adding the tapioca.
• When you're ready to serve, drain the cooked tapioca, and add to the mango mixture. Scoop into individual bowls and top with mango chunks.

MANGO POMELO SAGO

Steps:

• For the tapioca: Bring 2 1/2 cups of the coconut water to a boil in a small nonstick saucepan. Once boiling, add the tapioca pearls and stir with a rubber spatula. Lower the heat to medium low and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened and the pearls are no longer white, 5 to 10 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover and let stand for an additional 10 minutes.
• Drain the tapioca in a fine-mesh sieve and discard the coconut water. Rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. If making this ahead: Let set in 1/2 cup chilled coconut water and refrigerate until ready to serve. This will prevent the tapioca pearls from sticking together.
• Reserve 1/4 cup of the coconut milk. Add the remaining coconut milk to a blender along with the mango juice, coconut sugar, if using, remaining 1 1/2 cups coconut water, 2 cups of the mango cubes and 2 cups ice. Blend on high speed until smooth. (If using a more fibrous mango, feel free to strain the mixture.)
• Divide the tapioca pearls into 4 bowls and pour the mango puree over it. Garnish with the pomelo pulp and remaining mango cubes. Drizzle with the reserved coconut milk. Enjoy while cold.

PINEAPPLE MANGO SAGO

Steps:

• Boil 1 cup water with 2 tbsp sugar. Add tapioca and cook for 35 minutes. Drain. Set aside.
• Boil agar agar in 1-1/2 cups water with pineapple syrup for 5 minutes. Strain over bowl. Add tapioca, mango and sugar. Stir. Arrange each slice of Pineapple into desired individual mold. Pour 1/4 cup tapioca mixture. Cover and chill until set.

CHILLED MANGO SAGO PUDDING

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil, add sago and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Stir in sugar, mango nectar, evaporated milk and coconut cream.
• Simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring once in a while to prevent sago and milk from burning.
• Simmer until liquid has almost evaporated.
• While still hot, stir in mangoes and scoop about 1/2 cup of the mixture into serving glasses/bowls and let cool.
• If you like you can puree the mixture slightly with a blender or stick-blender before scooping into individual bowls.
• Chill for several hours before serving, and serve with extra chopped mango if desired.
