     Title: How To Cook Sago
Categories: Chinese, Hints, Info
     Yield: 1 1/4 cups

   1/2 c  Uncooked sago; or the amount
          -you require
          Water

 Cook time: 10 minutes

 Sago is essentially extracted starch from the centre of sago palm tree
 stems. Sago pearls look similar to tapioca pearls but tapioca pearls
 are made from the root of cassava trees. The texture is also
 different. Sago pearls are soft and more delicate whereas tapioca
 pearls are denser, chewy and commonly used in bubble tea drinks.

 Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Pour in sago seeds and lower
 heat. Let it simmer for around 10 minutes. Stir gently occasionally
 to prevent the sago pearls from clumping and sticking to the pot.

 After 10 minutes of simmering, turn off the heat. The water has
 turned all starchy now caused by the starch from the sago seeds. You
 will see that the sago still has a tiny white dot in the middle. The
 sago is not fully cooked yet.

 Keep the pot covered for about 5-10 minutes and let the remaining heat
 finish cooking the sago. After 10 minutes, open the lid and check. It
 is fully cooked when the sago is all translucent and has no white in
 center.

 Strain and rinse the sago under cold running water a few times to
 remove any residual starch. Keep freshly cooked sago in enough water
 to cover it until ready to use. Best to use within a few days.
