Drop the pieces of chicken in the hot oil and listen to them sizzle. The mixture of pandan and turmeric will fill the air, hypnotizing you into a confused state of hunger. But stay focused! In a short time, the pandan leaves will turn brown and crispy, and the chicken into golden, juicy tidbits.

Pandan Chicken Recipe
Ingredients:
2 pieces of boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
Pandan leaves (screw pine leaves) for wrapping
Satay sticks or toothpicks


Seasoning for marination
1 1/2 tablespoons ground turmeric
1/4 cup coconut milk 
2 teaspoon fish sauce
1 stalk lemongrass, white part only, sliced very thinly
1 teaspoon palm sugar or brown sugar
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
Generous dash of white pepper


The process:
1. Combine the seasonings above in a bowl and marinate the chicken for minimum one hour. 


2. Get ready for wrapping. Place a piece of chicken on the end of a pandan leave and roll it up. Make sure it is wrapped tightly. Then secure the piece with a toothpick (or satay stick). 


3. Heat the oil (oil should be at least 1 inch deep for frying). Gently place the chicken pieces in the oil. To prevent splattering, add some salt to the oil.


4. Fry the pandan chicken on medium heat for 3 - 4 minutes on each side. 


5. Chicken will turn golden brown - and pandan leaves brown and crispy - when ready. 


6. Dish out and drain on paper towel. Serve hot. Unwrap to eat since the leaf is not edible.
