![]() This is often what you can find in Asian stores labeled as Sago or Tapioca pearls. Although the most common is from the pith from Metroxylon sagu, thus the name Sago. One type is the starch from various tropical palm trees. Sago adds an extra layer of texture, both visual and tactile. ![]() Me thinks, it is the middle ground a compromise. If some opts for just buko and pandan gulaman on their recipe for buko salad some people just add sago instead. Then what you are doing is the Buko Salad that I know from my childhood. If don’t want to do the pandan-infused gulaman, it is totally fine. After all it is a salad and the different colours, textures and flavours make it more festive.Īs I mentioned above, this salad has evolved from Buko salad. Fillipinos just love to add other “salad dessert” ingredients to this recipe. If you want to go that route, that is totally fine. Some recipes will actually just have grated buko or fresh young coconut and pandan gulaman. It is flavoured with buko juice and infused with pandan leaves (or pandan extract). How to make pandan gulaman is included in this recipe. Having said that, other recipes like Cathedral Window Gelatin may call for the softer jelly. Personally, the firm texture of gulaman is a perfect for this recipe. Gelatin is softer and could disintegrate when you mix in the salad. However my choice is due to the firmer texture of gulaman. While gelatin is collagen from animal skins and bones. The main difference is that gulaman or agar-agar is from seaweed. It is really gulaman that I want to use for this recipe of buko pandan. I used the word Gulaman instead of gelatin or jelly/jell-o. You have to call it a different name if you won’t have fresh young coconut in your buko salad. As this is a recipe of Buko Pandan salad, you can’t omit nor substitute this one out. The flesh of the young coconut is soft enough to be grated so often they are available as such. Buko Pandan Ingredients Bukoįresh young coconut is popular in the Philippines as Buko. The vital ingredients are the cream and sweetened condensed milk mixture that tie together this refreshing, milky, creamy sweet dessert salad. This recipe for Buko Pandan has Sago, Pandan Gulaman, Nata de Coco, Kaong (Sugar Palm Fruit) and of course, shredded Buko or Fresh Young Coconut. The important thing is – that it is sweet and creamy. It may not even be a buko salad or a fruit salad. You can decide what you want to put in yours depending on personal taste and preference. The beauty of making a dessert salad recipe is its versatility. I have been to to other celebrations where they also add Fruit Cocktail to their Buko Salad – that I feel becomes a fruit salad then. While other recipes also add Nata de Coco (Coconut Jelly) and Kaong (Sugar Palm Fruit) as well. Some would just add sago and pandan gulaman to the young coconut in their recipe for Buko Pandan. It is a creamy sweet dessert of shredded fresh young coconut in sweetened condensed milk with cream. Can I use Pandan extract instead of Pandan leaves?.
