7/1/2023 0 Comments Pandan waffle![]() Re the recipe: Nearly all the other Vietnamese waffle recipes online use only AP flour (all-purpose) and attempt to get that crispy, light texture by using cornstarch and baking powder or cream of tartar. I’ve created a recipe for Vietnamese waffles that’s crispy and light like the version I’ve come accustomed to on Sunday afternoons. ![]() Because of you, I’ve been tinkering with recipes for several weeks and am waffled out. This time, however, I skipped my regular waffle for the first time in months. ![]() My husband and I had lunch at New Saigon. ![]() Pandan tastes and smells sweet and floral. You can tell by the signature bright green hue (which is a combination of natural color and added food coloring). Pandan is a tropical plant frequently used in Southeast Asian cookery and makes its way into many desserts. The coconut milk is why the recipe is featured with this series and the reason these waffles are so special. It’s eaten naked, like a pastry, and is the perfect dessert after my usual meal of spicy lemongrass chicken and vegetables.īanh kep la dua are made with coconut milk and pandan. They are Vietnamese waffles, banh kep la dua – a sweet treat that is served up by Vietnamese homecooks and street food vendors. These are not the kind of waffles you’d drench in butter and syrup. One of the perks of going there on the weekend is that they now serve waffles. Other times, laziness sneaks in and I want someone else to break out their pots and pans.įrequently that someone is New Saigon, my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Denver. Some Sundays I am eager to cook up a feast, never mind that it takes 1 or 4 hours. It’s a leisurely day where I let the pace be what it may –whether it’s sleeping in, reading curled up on the sofa or taking my time folding laundry. ![]()
