Just boil a cup or two, and then turn off the stove and put the pansit-pansitan without the roots. For the 'isang dakot na bigas', it usually grows in our garden but my late Mom would ask us to remove those at they have a supertitious belief that if you grow that in your garden, it will be easier for you to run out of rice in your 'cavan'. But now i'm interested on that as a part of my salad. :-) The taste of pansit-pansitan when boiled as tea is just like a refreshing gulaman with sago drink.

I can"t even imagine that it has good use, all i knew is that it is not a food then i found out that it is now use as herbal medicine. Wow, i just got amazed.

The "lowly" garden herbs such as pansit-pansitan & isang dakot na bigas look so chic when placed in a long stemmed glass and set against a woodgrain backdrop. Nice!!!

The compost he uses is also healthy for other plants in the garden. Interesting stuff you bartered for. Good to know it's available if you come across a recipe that asks for it.
