Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. If using frozen gondre, soak it in cold water for at least 1 hour to thaw. If using fresh gondre, rinse it thoroughly.
Step 2
2. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and blanch the gondre for 1-2 minutes. Blanching with salt will make the gondre’s color more vibrant and appealing.
