Tip
In Thai cooking, Betel Leaves are often eaten fresh like in this recipe, shredded in salads or thrown into stir fries. In Vietnamese kitchens, they are mostly used as little wraps for beef and lemongrass fillings, skewered and grilled over charcoal. You can find fresh Betel Leaves in most Asian grocery stores, although it can be seasonal, sold as a bunch or per kg. The flavour and aroma is slightly peppery and fresh.

Recipe is created forTM 6
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
