Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup shagu (sago)
  • 2 cups water
  • 2-3 tsp sugar (or to taste)
  • 1 cup milk
  • sliced nuts (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Bring your water up to a boil. Add the Shagu straight in, and boil on medium low for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure they're not sticking to the bottom.
  • Turn the heat off and let it sit with the lid on for another 5 minutes or so until all the balls look clear.
  • Skim the white foam off the top with a spoon.
  • Then strain as much liquid as you want, you can use a strainer. You can also run them under water for a bit in the strainer if you want to get rid of all the starchy water.
  • Mix in some sugar. Then pour into your serving bowl.
  • Top with some chilled milk, and some sliced nuts if you’d like. Taste and adjust sugar if needed. And enjoy!
