Recipe Summary Bitter Melon Jelly With Sago

I had this dessert a number of years ago at a Chinese restaurant and it has taken me a while to perfect this recipe. This dessert is very different, and I would say people who do not have a very sweet tooth will love this Asian dessert.

Ingredients | Sago Gula Melaka Che Nom

¼ piece bitter melon, halved and flesh and seeds removed

1 pinch salt

5 (3 ounce) packages lime-flavored gelatin mix

2 cups hot water

½ cup pearl sago

½ (14 ounce) can condensed milk

Directions

Place the bitter melon and salt into a bowl; toss until melon is covered. Let sit until bitterness is extracted, about 40 minutes. Rinse melon under cold running water. Run the melon through a juicer to collect 1/2 to 1 fluid ounce of juice.

Combine the melon juice and lime-flavored gelatin mix in a glass bowl. Pour in hot water; stir until gelatin is dissolved. Allow to cool, 3 to 5 minutes. Refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours.

Combine 2 1/2 cups of water and pearl sago in a pot; bring to boil. Cook until sago becomes translucent, about 10 minutes. Strain the sago through a sieve. Place sago in a bowl; add condensed milk. Mix together until the milk coats the sago, stirring continuously so that they mixture does not clump. Top the chilled jelly with sago mixture.

If you don't have a juice extractor use a blender and pour the liquid through a sieve.
