On this recipe, I used 1 piece of agar-agar that have been sitting in my pantry. I just cooked it according to packaging instructions then I added buko pandan extract to it. You can also use a gulaman or gelatin powder and follow cooking procedure. So any available green gelatin can be used as long as you add a small amount of pandan essence to give it a nice flavor. 
Sago can be optional but it would be nice to add it. Cooking sago is a little challenge as most packaging doesn't have instructions how to cook it. 
To cook, boil enough water in a large sauce pan. Add the small sago. Boil until the sago becomes translucent. Cooking time varies depending on the size of sago. For this recipe, I used the mini one and cooked it for about 12-15 minutes. Tip: If the water starts to thicken while boiling, add more water and continue boiling because if you don't, boiling will be much longer. Drain and rinse in cold water to stop the cooking process. I
