Steamed Sago Cake
Ingredients
- 1 cup sago
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- A little syrup
- A little grated coconut
- A pinch of salt
Preparation
Clean the sago and drain it. Let it sit for a while.
In a container, mix sago, water, a little syrup, and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Grease the mold with a little oil. Meanwhile, heat the steamer.
Pour the sago mixture into the mold, filling it about three-quarters full.
When the steaming water boils, place the mold in the steamer.
Steam for 10 minutes or until cooked. Allow to cool.
In another container, mix grated coconut with a pinch of salt. Steam for 2 to 3 minutes to preserve freshness.
When ready to serve, combine the sago cake with the grated coconut mixture. It is best enjoyed cold.
