BUKO PANDAN SALAD

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

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.
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.
Pour through a strainer into cooling trays. Wait till it cools and hardens, then put in fridge.
Meanwhile, mix the grated buko with the 3 cans of cream and 1 can of condensed milk.
Add kaong if you prefer.
Get gulaman from ref and cut into 1 cm cubes. Mix with buko mixture.
Put 2 cups of the buko pandan salad into one lunch box and give to Jojo Basug as a complement.
