Recipe notes

  • Thinner and Softer Pods – Young sitaw is slim and bends easily, while mature ones are thick and firm.
  • No Big Seeds – If you see big bumps along the pod, it’s already too mature. Go for ones with tiny or barely visible seeds.
  • Snaps Easily – Fresh, tender sitaw breaks cleanly, while mature ones feel stringy and tough.
