Fresh Banana Leaves (Thai) 250g

Description

Fresh banana leaves (Thai) 250g — glossy, flexible banana leaves for wrapping, steaming and grilling. A quick pass over a flame or a soak in hot water makes them pliable, and they lend a subtle grassy aroma to whatever they wrap: Thai hor mok, sticky rice parcels, grilled fish, Malaysian otak-otak. A natural, compostable alternative to foil, and the presentation looks the part too.

Wipe clean, trim to size and soften before folding. Wrap fish or chicken with herbs and grill; line a steamer for sticky rice and dumplings; or fold little cups for desserts such as khanom. They sit well alongside fresh Thai vegetables in the weekly shop, and larger frozen packs are available if you are cooking for a crowd.

Storage: Keep refrigerated, loosely wrapped so the leaves do not dry out, and use within a few days.
