Tips
Cooking sago takes more time, so let it soak well and absorb water before wrapping.
After absorbing the water, the sago will become bigger, so you can start wrapping it when you see the volume rising.
When wrapping sago dumplings, other ingredients can be added inside, such as dates and fruits, for a richer flavor.
