BUKO PANDAN RECIPE
 
 
Ingredients
Pandan jelly:
  • 6-8 strips pandan leaves
  • 2 cups water
  • ¾ teaspoon agar-agar powder
  • ¼ cup organic sugar
Buko salad:
  • 1 cup coconut cream
  • ½ cup non-dairy milk
  • ½ cup shredded young coconut
  • 6 tbsp Nata de Coco
Instructions
  1. Using a high speed blender or food processor, blend the pandan with water. Strain by using a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer.
  2. Using a sauce pan or small pot, heat the pandan juice over high heat. Add a bit more water if you've significantly lost water during the blending (to maintain the 2 cups ratio). Let the juice simmer for about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the agar-agar powder and sugar. Constantly stir until the powder and sugar have fully melted.
  4. As soon as it starts boiling, turn off the heat and transfer to a mold, baking pan, or glass container. Let it cool then refrigerate to set (about 30-45 minutes).
  5. Once the jelly has set, remove from the fridge. Cut into blocks and add them to your Buko salad.
Buko salad:
  1. In a serving bowl, mix the coconut cream, nut milk, shredded young coconut, and nata de coco. Add a bit of sugar if you'd like to sweeten it.
  2. Add the pandan jelly.
  3. Garnish with lemon (suggested serving)
Notes
You could find pandan strips, coconut cream, agar-agar powder, young coconut, and nata de coco at Asian grocery stores.
