Palm sugar is a popular ingredient in many Asian dishes and is used as a natural sweetener. Here are some ways you can use palm sugar:

1. Cooking

• Curries : Add palm sugar to Thai or Indian curries to add a deeper, caramelized sweetness that balances the spicy and sour flavors.
• Soups and Sauces : Use it in soups like Tom Yum or in sauces to add a complex flavor, especially when making dishes like Pad Thai.
• Marinades : Palm sugar can be used in marinades for meat, especially in dishes such as satay, where it provides a sweet and rich glaze.

2. Baking

• Cakes and cookies : Replace white sugar with palm sugar in baking for a slightly caramelized flavor in your cakes and cookies.
• Cakes : Use it in cakes like gingerbread or banana cakes for a more complex sweetness.

3. Desserts

• Sweet rice dishes : In many Asian desserts, such as sticky rice with mango, palm sugar is used to sweeten the rice.
• Coconut milk-based desserts : It is perfect for coconut-based desserts such as sticky rice balls and pancakes, where it provides a lovely contrast to the rich coconut milk.

4. Beverages

• Tea and coffee : Use palm sugar as a natural sweetener in your tea or coffee for a slightly more complex flavor than regular sugar.
• Cocktails : Make a simple syrup with palm sugar to sweeten cocktails like mojitos or daiquiris.

5. How to prepare it:

• Grating or chopping : If you have a solid block of palm sugar, grate or chop it into small pieces before using it. You can also melt it over low heat to make a syrup.

Palm sugar is versatile and gives your dishes a deep, rich sweetness with a hint of caramelised flavour. Try it the next time you want to add something extra to your Asian dishes or desserts!
