How to Make Sago Pudding From Yum Cha
- Soak 1 cup of small sago pearls in a bowl of cold water for 2-3 hours, or until softened.
- Drain the soaked sago and rinse well under running water.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the drained sago and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sago pearls become translucent. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once cooked, rinse the sago under cold running water to stop the cooking process and drain thoroughly.
- In a large saucepan, combine 1 liter of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the boiling sugar mixture. Stir until melted and incorporated.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of whole milk into the sugar mixture, stirring continuously.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 can (13.5 oz) of coconut milk, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons of custard powder until smooth and lump-free.
- Gradually pour the coconut milk mixture into the boiling sugar mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
- Continue to whisk over medium heat until the pudding thickens to a creamy consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Gently whisk in 2 large eggs, one at a time, ensuring that each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Stir in the cooked sago pearls until evenly distributed throughout the pudding.
- Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F). Pour the sago pudding mixture into individual oven-safe ramekins or a heatproof baking dish.
- Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set. Keep an eye on it and adjust baking time as needed.
- Let the sago pudding cool completely before serving. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
