Back to Ambuyat. I offset got to know of this dish via Disney Junior channel. It was rather intriguing... how does bland starch gustation like.
Ambuyat is a dish of the Bisaya people that reside inward Negara Brunei Darussalam every bit good every bit both Sarawak as well as Sabah. Other tribes produce eat ambuyat too, as well as it may live on called amongst other names similar 'linut' or 'jalit' inward Miri.
It is eaten similar a staple, similar how ane would eat rice, or breadstuff or noodles.
It is made from sago starch, derived from the body of the sago palm. The starch is soaked as well as cooked past times scalding it amongst boiling water. Ambuyat tastes bland, as well as is ever served amongst dishes, similar how rice is served, as well as the dishes unremarkably comes amongst a hot as well as sour tone. And to eat ambuyat, ane uses sticks, non hands nor other cutleries. Some volition role chopstick to twirl the starch.
I couldn't twirl the starch that well, every bit they aren't every bit viscid every bit look on TV. Maybe it's because mine aren't the ones harvested from Borneo. It is said that the sago starch nosotros select hither is non the same every bit the ones there. But later on dipping inward the sour gravy.... it becomes ane lump of slithery goodness...that I uncovering it quite similar to eating jelly. I don't know how I should eat the vegetable condiment as well as therefore I lifted some upward to live on chewed along.
Eating ambuyat is pleasurable as well as fun!
