  • 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 of Season with Spice's ground turmeric
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 2 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 1 stalk lemongrass white part only, sliced very thinly
  • 1 teaspoon of Season with Spice's Coconut Palm Sugar or brown sugar
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste

  • Combine the seasonings above in a bowl and marinate the chicken for minimum one hour.
  • Get ready for wrapping. Place a piece of chicken on the end of a pandan leaf and roll it up. Make sure it is wrapped tightly. Then secure the piece with a toothpick (or satay stick).
  • 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.

  • Chicken will turn golden brown - and pandan leaves brown and crispy - when ready.
  • Dish out and drain on paper towel. Serve hot. Unwrap to eat since the leaf is not edible.
