- 1 stalk Lemongrass (white part only, finely minced, serai)
- 1 Pandan leaf (tied in a knot, daun pandan)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1/2 tsp Chili flakes (cili kering, optional for heat) - pilihan
- 1 tsp Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp Sugar (optional, or use natural sweetener) - pilihan

- 1 Egg white (for sealing wrappers (omit for vegan)) - pilihan
Arahan
- 1
Soak dried shrimp (udang kering) in warm water for 10 minutes until softened. Drain well and pat dry.
10 minutes
Soaking removes excess salt and softens shrimp for easier blending.
- 2
In a food processor, pulse soaked shrimp, shallots, garlic, and lemongrass until finely shredded.
3 minutes
Do not over-process; a coarse texture gives the best floss consistency.
- 3
Heat 1/2 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick pan. Add the blended mixture, pandan leaf, chili flakes (if using), and sauté on low heat for 8 minutes until dry and aromatic.
8 minutes
Keep stirring to avoid burning and to develop a light, dry floss.
- 4
Season with soy sauce and a touch of sugar if desired. Discard pandan leaf. Let the floss cool to room temperature.
2 minutes
Taste and adjust seasoning to your preference.
