MethodPreparación

  1. Fill a big pot halfway with water and set it over low-medium heat. As the water heats up, add the sago pearls, stirring as you pour them in so they don't clump. Give everything a good stir.
  2. Let the sago cook for about 20 minutes, stirring now and then.
  3. Turn off the heat and let the pearls sit in the hot water for another 15 minutes, until they're translucent with no white dot in the center.
  4. Drain the sago in a strainer and rinse it well under cold water, until all the sticky, gooey starch washes away.
  5. In a big bowl, stir together the sago, coconut jelly, evaporated milk, and condensed milk — start with half the can and add more to taste.
  6. Fold in most of the diced mango, then chill. Serve cold with extra mango spooned on top.
Maritza's note:Nota de Maritza: Add the condensed milk a little at a time and taste as you go — how sweet it gets is up to you. It's best ice-cold, so give it real time in the fridge before serving.Agrega la leche condensada poco a poco y ve probando — qué tan dulce queda lo decides tú. Sabe mejor bien frío, así que dale tiempo de verdad en el refri antes de servir.
