# What You'll Need:
→ Main
01 -
360 g sago pearls
02 -
2.7 kg strawberries, washed and stems removed
03 -
530 ml evaporated milk
04 -
135 ml condensed milk, adjust to taste

# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add sago pearls, reduce heat to medium-high, and cook for approximately 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until pearls become transparent. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for another 10–15 minutes until fully translucent.
02 -
Strain the cooked sago using a strainer, rinse thoroughly under cold water to halt cooking, then submerge the strainer with sago pearls in a bowl of cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
03 -
In a blender, combine prepared strawberries, evaporated milk, and condensed milk. Blend until smooth. Taste and incorporate additional condensed milk if a sweeter result is desired. Refrigerate mixture until assembly.
04 -
Drain excess water from the sago. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine sago pearls, chilled coconut milk, and strawberry mixture. Mix until evenly incorporated.
05 -
Portion into individual serving cups and garnish each with chopped fresh strawberries. Serve immediately.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Submerging the cooked sago in cold water prevents the pearls from clumping and maintains their chewy texture.
