    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Pour milk into a large microwaveable dish. Add sago and allow to soak for 1 hour.

    2 Microwave sago on high for 4 minutes. Stir. Microwave sago on high for 4 more minutes.
    Stir, then microwave sago on medium for 5 minutes. By now mixture should be thick, with glassy beads of sago showing through. If not, microwave again on medium for 1 minute at a time until cooked.

    3 Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla together in a cup, then quickly stir it into hot sago mixture.

    4 Microwave sago on medium for 2 minutes, then serve hot with berries, plus passionfruit pulp, if desired.

    Serving suggestion

    This pudding is delicious with any fruit you like, or with a tablespoon of jam.

    HFG tip

    Use oven gloves to remove the dish from the microwave each time it is stirred, as it will become hot as the sago cooks.

    What is sago?: Sago is the starchy inside part of the trunk of a sago palm. The beads are produced by separating the starch from other parts of the plant, then forming this extract into a dough. The dough is then forced through a sieve before being heated at high temperatures. You can buy sago from the baking aisle at the supermarket.
