Coconut Sago Pudding (Dim Sum-style) Recipe soniasw
- Water: 2-2.5 cups (if you are really creative you can use the juice of a fresh young coconut - makes a difference!)
- Evaporated milk: 1 cup
- Knox gelatin packages: 3-4 depending on how firm you want it
- Cornstarch: 1/2 cup
- Coconut milk (light is fine and healthier): 1 full can
- Sugar: 1/2-1 cup depending on how sweet you want it
- Yellow split peas or red beans: 1 cup boiled for 10 minutes / soft
- Pour the gelatin on top of 1 cup of water or coconut juice (not milk) to start the dissolving process.
- I just put it in the pan/pot I intend to mold the pudding in.
- Boil evaporated milk and coconut milk.
- Microwave is great and easy put it in a pyrex measuring cup if you have a big one.
- Pour the milk into the gelatin and mix to fully dissolve gelatin.
- Combine cornstarch with remaining 1.5 cups of water and pour directly into the gelatin-milk mixture.
- The cornstarch will not dissolve and gives the pudding an interesting taste/texture.
- Add the beans.
- Extra credit for taking the meat of a young coconut, dicing it and putting into the pudding!
- Put in refrigerator to chill and firm.
