Most South East Asian cakes or kuih as we call it are bite sized dessert or snack, mostly made with rice flour, glutinous rice flour, sago, tapioca flour or mung bean flour. They are usually steamed than baked or fried.
Kuih Sago is a traditional Asian dessert that was chewy in texture, made of pearl sago. I chose a different method to prepare instead of steaming it. My cooking style requires constant stirring until the sago turns translucent after adding them to the sugar syrup. After cooking it was leave to cool until set. When completely cool, they are sliced and rolled in grated coconut.
Most desserts made with coconut will turn rancid really fast so it must be consumed on the same day other wise stored them in a refrigerator. A jar with resealable lid works perfect to keep shredded coconut fresh and handy in a fridge.

I was intrigued by the process of making this delightful gluten free dessert. Would this recipe would work with maple syrup or coconut palm sugar in place of white sugar?
