Mango Pomelo Sago (Hongkong recipe)

This combination of sweet and creamy mango puree with luscious pomelo sacs make for an irresistible dessert. Mango pomelo sago is a type of contemporary Hong Kong dessert. It usually includes diced mango, pomelo, sago, coconut milk, and milk. It can be found in many Chinese restaurants and dessert stores in Hong Kong as well as Singapore, Malaysia, Guangdong, and Taiwan.


🥭Ingredients🍊
  • 1 large ripe mango or 2 to 3 smaller mangoes (total close to 1 kg)
  • 280 ml low fat evaporated milk ( We reckon Carnation brand)
  • Simple syrup (3 tbsp) – to taste
  • 4 tbsp sago seeds
  • 1 pomelo – cut and peeled. Use about 3 wedges of pomelo sacs
  • Rock sugar 70 grams


🍨Instructions

 

1. Prepare sago pearls. Put a small pot of water to boil. Once boiling, add the sago seeds. Lower heat and cook for around 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the remaining heat to finish cooking the sago seeds. When the sago seeds turn translucent, ladle up and place them in a bowl of water till ready to use.

 

2. Cut the pomelo. Slice off the top of the pomelo. Make vertical slits (about ½ inch thick) along the sides of the pomelo. Using your hand, peel off the skin working from the top to bottom. Peel away the membrane from 3 wedges of pomelo and remove the pomelo sacs. Loosen the sacs with a spoon and set aside.

3. Cut the mango into cubes. Reserve about a quarter of the mangoes and set aside to be used as toppings for the dessert.

4. Place the mango cubes, evaporated milk and ice cubes into a blender. Blend for a short while till smooth. I did not break the ice completely as I wanted some pieces of ice cubes inside the dessert. You may replace the ice cubes with water if you wish to chill it in the fridge.

4 Pour pureed mango into a large bowl. Strain cooked sago seeds with a small sieve and add into the mango puree. Add the pomelo sacs and 3 tbsp of sugar syrup (or to taste). Reserve some of the pomelo sacs for topping. Mix well.

5. Ration into serving bowls and top with reserved mango cubes and pomelo sacs. Serve immediately or refrigerate to chill and serve later.

🍯Syrup

To make simple syrup, I melted 70 g of rock sugar in 1 cup of water.

    4. Cut avocados: Cut in half lengthwise and remove pit. Gently peel the skin off with your hands. Place each half facedown and cut into cubes (similar to mango). This technique gives really clean cuts, but you can remove cubes with a spoon too!

Indian Style Mango Chutney

This chutney has a sweet and sour taste and goes particularly well with samosas and mint raita. Make it at least 2 weeks in advance for enhanced flavour or 1 day before serving. 

🧂Ingredients

 ¼ cups diced fresh mango

¼ cup salt

½ cups water

⅓ cups white sugar

2 cups vinegar

½ cup raisins

½ cup chopped pitted dates

2 cinnamon sticks

2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root

2 teaspoons crushed garlic

2 teaspoons ground dried chile pepper

10 half-pint canning jars with lids and rings


🥣Steps

1. Put mango into a large bowl. Sprinkle salt over the mango. Pour water over the mango. Let mango soak for 1 hour to overnight.

2. Drain and discard liquid from the mango.

3. Stir sugar and vinegar together in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Add drained mango to the liquid; stir to coat. Stir raisins, dates, cinnamon sticks, ginger, garlic, and ground dried chile pepper into the mango mixture; bring again to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and simmer mixture until thickened, about 1 hour. Remove from heat to cool completely.

4. Sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack chutney into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.

5. Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.

6. Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

Mango and Chocolate Protein Smoothie

May we introduce a healthy menu from foodaciously.com to you?

This menu is absolutely healthy! It’s made without protein powder, using only natural ingredients (plus a bar of dark chocolate). 🥭😋

The best smoothies are those that provide quality carbs, fibres, healthy fats, and proteins. We prepared this mango and chocolate protein smoothie recipe with fresh #Mahachanok mango chunks, Greek yogurt, almond butter, chia seeds, and cacao. It’s a real energy booster just waiting to be tasted.

You might wonder if chocolate and mango go well together. They do! Fruit and chocolate are often a great combination, as the bitterness of the chocolate softens the sweetness of the fruit, creating a pleasant and flavourful blend. Adding cacao to a smoothie or fruit bowl also boosts it with antioxidants and helps to improve your mood.

With a single serving of this smoothie, you get 50% of your daily protein intake, and we haven’t used any protein powder! The high protein content comes from yogurt, almond butter, and chia seeds. We recommend you use Greek yogurt instead of plain yogurt as it has double the protein and half the carbs. Opt for a low-fat variety but not a fat-free one, as those have a poorer nutritional profile and often contain highly processed ingredients.

Our recipe is also high in fibres thanks to its high fruit content and chia seeds, providing almost 40% of your daily intake.

INGREDIENTS (available at Coles)

  • Ripe Mahachanok Mango = 250 g
  • Chia Seeds = 2 tbsp
  • Water = 90 mL
  • Greek Yogurt = 280 g

  • Almond Butter = 2 tsp
  • Cacao Powder = 20 g
  • Dark Chocolate (optional) to taste
INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1.

Mix water with the chia seeds in a small bowl and stir well. Allow the seeds to soak for 5 minutes or until they have absorbed the water and formed a thick and viscous mixture.

STEP 2.

In the meantime, peel and cut the mango into chunks.

Add the chopped mango, Greek yogurt, and almond butter to the blender bowl of your food processor.

Blitz until you have a creamy smoothie. Transfer half of the prepared mango smoothie to a clean bowl.

STEP 3.

Then, add soaked chia seeds and cacao powder to the remaining half of the smoothie in the blender.

Pulse until the ingredients are well incorporated and you have a smooth mixture.

STEP 4.

Now, prepare one glass per serving by adding a bottom layer of chocolate smoothie and then a top layer of mango smoothie.

Thanks to the thickness of the chia seeds mixture, the mango smoothie won’t sink into the chocolate layer when you add it.

Serve immediately or store it in the fridge.
