This fragrant, sweet, and creamy Pandan Coconut Sago Soup with Corn is easy to make and absolutely delicious!
1. Cook the Sago : Rinse the sago pearls. In a pot, combine water and pandan juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add sugar and salt, stirring until dissolved. Add sago pearls and stir quickly to prevent them from sticking together. Cook until the sago pearls are translucent (about 10-15 minutes).
2. Mix in Corn : Add corn kernels to the sago mixture. Stir well and remove from heat. Set aside.
3. Make the Coconut Cream Topping : In a pot, combine thick coconut milk, rice flour, sugar, and salt. Stir well. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens (but do not boil). Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Steam the layers : Pour a thin layer of the batter into a greased tray. Steam in a steamer basket over boiling water on high heat for 7-8 minutes, or until cooked through (the batter will turn translucent).
5. Serve : Ladle the sago soup into bowls. Top with coconut cream and garnish with shredded pandan leaves (if available). Serve immediately.
