Brilio.net - Sago pearls, which are often used as a topping for drinks or dessert mixes, are made from tapioca and have a chewy texture when bitten. In the market, sago pearls are usually sold raw, so they need to be boiled first for 30-45 minutes to cook perfectly.
Many people choose to boil large amounts of sago pearls at once to save time. However, often the remaining sago pearls become a problem if not stored properly, because they can harden, become sticky, or even slimy, making them unconsumable. To avoid this, it is important to know how to store cooked sago pearls properly. One way that can be followed is the storage method shared by YouTube user DAPURE NYONG.
First, wash the remaining sago pearls.
"We wash it first in running water, while stirring it so that the dirt dissolves," he explained, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube DAPURE NYONG on Tuesday (5/11).

Once it feels clean, put the sago pearls into a perforated container. Let it sit for a while until the water content reduces.
"So that there is no water content between the sago pearls which makes them slimy when stored," he explained further.

If it has been left for a while, put the container and the plate as a base into the refrigerator. The plate under the container serves to hold the water content of the pearl sago.

In this way, pearl sago will last for days. Guaranteed pearl sago will not change taste or texture. When it is going to be processed, pearl sago must be rinsed again with running water.

After that, transfer the sago pearls to a pan. Add hot water until the entire surface of the sago pearls is submerged.
"Soak it for a while until the sago pearls expand and become chewy again," he said.

Finally, strain the sago pearls and discard the soaking water. That way, the sago pearls can be used directly as usual.
