Buko Pandan Salad

IJsselstein, Wednesday, 05 October 2005 03:29:33

Ingredients

8 leaves of Pandan - cleaned well
5 Buko (Coconut)not too hard, not too soft- Grated to strips
Water from 5 Buko (approx. 10 cups)
3 small cans of Nestle Cream
1 medium can of Condensed Milk
2 bars of Green Gulaman
1 3/4 Cups Sugar (more if you want it sweeter)
1 cup Kaong (optional)

Preparation

  1. Boil buko water from 5 coconuts together with 8 pandan leaves that are individually twisted to break the fibers and expose the juice. Simmer for 20 minutes.
  2. Before adding 2 bars of gulaman, make sure you remove the pandan leaves and check if the remaining coconut water is equal to 8 cups - 1 bar of gulaman is good for 4 cups of liquid. If it is not 8 cups, less will mean hard gulaman and more than 8 cups will result in mushy soft gulaman. Ensuring gulaman is well-dissolved stir well. Add sugar while mixing. Do this for 5 minutes.
  3. Pour through a strainer into cooling trays. Wait till it cools and hardens, then put in fridge.
  4. Meanwhile, mix the grated buko with the 3 cans of cream and 1 can of condensed milk.
  5. Add kaong if you prefer.
  6. Get gulaman from ref and cut into 1 cm cubes. Mix with buko mixture.
  7. Put 2 cups of the buko pandan salad into one lunch box and give to Jojo Basug as a complement.

Enjoy !

well, i just spoke with my sister in P.I. and answered me that the kind of nestle cream that you needed to use is the one in the can. The nestle cream that's in the tetra pack is more creamy.
