Instructions
Cook the sago in a saucepan of simmering water for 20 minutes or until translucent then drain well.
Combine the mung bean starch with the water and stir to form a smooth paste.
Combine the sugar and coconut milk in a saucepan and slowly bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
Whisking constantly, add the starch mixture and cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture simmers and becomes very thick.
Whisk in the vanilla and salt then stir in the drained sago to combine well.
