hi, jade. i think the one you’re asking is the dried flower of bananas. i tried this recipe and its great! i just added vinegar when the eggs have been boiled just before serving, of course some simmering was done for the vinegar to be absorbed by the meat. perfect ulam! thanks!

Hi Connie, I was just wondering if you know the name of the vegetable that usually goes with this pata. It looks like yellow and it is tied like a knot. thanks.

Hi Jessie, one star anise is one piece. If you mean one “petal”, no, you have to include the whole star with all “petals” intact.

Sorry for being naive, but when you say 1 star anise, is that the whole star or just a one piece of the star anise? Thanks, love your site!
