Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a pot. Add 1/2 cup sago pearls and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they turn translucent with tiny white centers, about 15 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes until fully transparent. Drain and rinse under cold water; set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Peel and dice 2 mangoes. Reserve a few cubes for garnish, then blend the rest with 1/2 cup coconut milk until smooth.

  4. Step 4

    In a bowl, combine the mango puree, remaining 1 cup coconut milk, and 3 tbsp sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves.

  5. Step 5

    Add the cooked sago and 1 cup pomelo segments to the bowl. Gently fold to combine.

  6. Step 6

    Chill for at least 30 minutes. Serve in bowls, topped with reserved mango cubes and 6 mint leaves.
