Method
- Combine water, muscovado, salt, and pandan in a wide pan and simmer until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the saba in one layer and bring back to a gentle simmer.
- Cook uncovered for 15–20 minutes, turning once, until the bananas are tender but still hold their shape.
- Remove the pandan and continue reducing the syrup until it coats the back of a spoon.
- Stir in butter or coconut oil if using for gloss and a rounded finish.
- Fold in cooked sago if using and heat for 2 minutes.
- Serve warm, or cool and serve with milk, coconut cream, or shaved ice.
