双色珍珠糕

Love the vibrant colour of this Kuih Sago! :D Instead of using normal food colouring, I substitute with strawberry paste & pandan paste :D

Kuih Sago with a twist! Twin Colour Pearl Cake

Ingredient

• 300gm sago
• 200gm sugar
• 600ml water
• 2 tbsp pandan juice
• 1 tsp pandan paste
• 1 tsp strawberry paste
• 100gm grated coconut + extra for serving
  
• 50gm gula melaka, chopped
• 1/4 tsp salt

Method

1. Grease a 7" square pan and lined with plastic sheet. Grease lightly again. Set aside.
2. Boil sugar & water in a medium pot. Add in sago can cook till semi-transparent, stirring frequently. (liquid will all be absorbed by the sago and the mixture will be thick)
   
3. Scoop 2 tbsp of the cooked sago and set aside. Divide the remaining into 2 portions.
4. Mix one portion with strawberry paste and the other portion with pandan juice & pandan paste.
5. Pour the red mixture into the pan and steam for 15mins.
6. Combine grated coconut, gula melaka & 2 tbsp reserved sago and spread over step (5).
7. Pour green sago mixture over and continue to steam for another 25mins.
8. Cool completely before unmoulding.
9. Smear a knife with oil (to prevent sticking) and cut kueh into slices. Coat with extra grated coconut and serve.
