chicken pandan




















Delicious dish inspired by the recipe I saw over at bahay-bahayan. My search is over for the best chicken pandan recipe. Thanks Rico for sharing. Though I was not able to use cilantro, and was not able to marinate it overnight, it still tasted goooood! Instead of wansuy, I used chopped ginger, and added pandan to the marinade and used it, with some water, to steam the chicken. My angel went to the corner store, several houses away from us, to buy something, and heard someone said "ang bango naman ng niluluto". :D Winner!

For the sauce, because i'm not fond of "maaanghang" I combined sugar, water, patis and seasoning. Great combination too, I tell you.

Tip: I had a hard time wrapping each piece, until finally, with 2 pieces left, I figured how to wrap it - wrap a piece of chicken in 2 pieces of inter-locking pandan leaves. If this fails, you can always use the handy toothpick to secure the leaves :D

I always order this in Banana Leaf. I was thinking of toothpicks too of how to go about wrapping the chicken parts.
