Tips:
I use Thai crocodile brand sago (different sago may have different water absorption levels), so drain the excess water after soaking. The important thing is to say that you must not use force when wrapping sago dumplings three times. The use of fine yarn is only to prevent the zong leaves from spreading and do not use force to tie them. Sago rice dumplings are more like pastries, so they taste best when they are cooled, and they have a delicate texture. If the weather is hot, you can put it in the refrigerator. The frozen sago dumplings will harden and taste bad. You can heat it in the microwave for a few seconds and then eat it cold. If you are curious, you can try the hot and cold taste. All food places are alright. Regarding the filling, it is best to use the filling that can be used for moon cakes. The taste is smooth and smooth. You can try various flavors, but it is best not to make homemade bean dregs. Since the filling is basically sweet, the sugar mixed in can be adjusted according to personal preference.
