Koro is a type of vegetable that comes from the koro plant or koro bean, which is part of the legume family. Koro vegetables, with their crunchy texture and unique shape, are often people's choice when cooking. Koro can indeed be processed into various delicious dishes, from stir-fries to soups. Its high fiber content and rich protein make it a healthy alternative for everyday menus.
However, one of the challenges often faced when cooking koro is its bitter taste. This bitter taste can be quite dominant, especially if the koro used is old or not processed properly. The bitterness of koro can reduce the enjoyment of the dish and make it less popular, especially for children or people who are sensitive to bitter tastes.
However, the bitter taste of koro vegetables can actually be overcome with some proper cooking techniques. A YouTube user NOVIA HAP HAP once shared a technique for processing koro vegetables into lodeh . The method shared when processing koro vegetables not only reduces the bitter taste, but also the color of the vegetables remains bright green and tender.
Once done, add water and pour in fresh coconut milk. Stir and cook briefly until completely cooked. The last step, add more whole cayenne pepper if you want the sauce to be spicier. That way, lodeh sayur koro is ready to be consumed.
