Ingredients
  

Strawberry Compote
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and chopped
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
Taho
  • 2 packages silken tofu about 300 g each
Sago

  • 6 cups water

Method
 

  1. Place the chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the berries soften and release their juices.

  5. Spoon the warm tofu into serving glasses or bowls.
  6. Add a layer of cooked sago pearls.
