Saygo Pudding Recipe – Creamy & Delicious Dessert

[Eve Smith]

​

Ingredients​

• ¼ cup sago (tapioca pearls)
• 1 cup milk (or coconut milk)
• 2–3 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
• ¼ tsp cardamom powder (optional)
• A pinch of salt
• Chopped nuts or raisins for garnish (optional)
  

Instructions​

• Rinse sago
  • Wash the sago under running water to remove excess starch.
• Microwave sago
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, add the sago and ½ cup water.
  • Microwave on high for 4–5 minutes. Stir halfway through.
  • The sago should turn translucent. If needed, microwave 1–2 minutes more.
• Add milk & flavor
  • Pour in the milk, sugar, cardamom powder, and a pinch of salt.
  • Microwave for another 3–4 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the pudding thickens slightly.
• Serve
  • Let it cool for a few minutes or refrigerate to serve chilled.
  • Garnish with nuts or raisins if desired.

Tips:

• Stirring is key in the microwave to prevent sticking.
• For a creamier texture, use half milk and half coconut milk.
• Can add a few saffron strands for a richer aroma.
