Regardless of how I overeat and consume more than my fill of salt and pepper shrimp<\/a> when I dine out in Chinese restaurants, I always have room for Xi mi lu. I'd be paying the bill, already stuffed to the gills, and my neck would still be craned like a giraffe, on the lookout for the waiter to bring over the complimentary bowls of this tapioca coconut dessert soup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creamy and delicious with loads of mini sago, it's a sweet end to a satisfying Asian meal. And it's vegan and gluten-free, too!<\/p>\n\n\n

What you'll need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This sweet soup is traditionally made with coconut milk, tapioca pearls, and taro. I used kalabasa in this recipe instead of taro, and it turned out just as delicious! I imagine camote (Japanese yam) or ube (purple yam) would also be great substitutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some versions of tapioca dessert pudding skip the starchy root crops altogether and use juicy fruits. You can add fruits in season, such as mangoes<\/a>, melons, and berries. <\/p>\n\n\n

Preparing the mini sago <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The recipe calls for mini sago pearls. Cook them in boiling water until they turn clear as they continue to cook in coconut milk. After cooking, rinse well under cold running water to remove excess starch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
