Pandan
|
Pandan (screwpine pandanus) is a type of plant that grows in tropical areas of Asia. Pandan leaves have a sweet, unique flavor that is commmonly used in Southeast-Asian countries to enhance both desserts and savory dishes. The leaves are long and bright green, and when pounded or ground, they lend a sweet taste and aroma to many Thai desserts and some drinks.
|
How to Use Pandan Leaves: To create a paste out of pandan leaves which you can then use for a variety of recipes, cut leaves into 1-inch pieces and place in a pot on the stove together with 1/2 cup water (put as many pieces in as will fit). Boil until leaves are soft (some of the water will evaporate), then process water and leaves together in a food processor to create a paste.
Another Use of Pandan Leaves: Place several leaves on top of each other and tie in a knot to hold them together. Add this to a rice pot to add a subtle pandan flavor to your rice. Pandan has a very special taste that marries beautifully with coconut milk - there's nothing quite like it! |
