Bahan-bahan(untuk 2 sandwich halves per serving (approx. 120g))
- 4 slices Wholemeal bread slices (roti gandum)
- 1 cup, chopped Fresh strawberries (strawberi segar)
- 1 small piece Pandan leaf (daun pandan, knotted) - pilihan
- 1 stalk, bruised Lemongrass (serai) - pilihan

Arahan
- 1
Prepare the homemade strawberry jam by combining strawberries, reduced sugar, pandan leaf, lemongrass, and lime juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the fruit breaks down and thickens (about 10-12 minutes). Remove pandan and lemongrass.
12 minutes
Mash the strawberries with a fork for a chunky texture.
- 2
Allow the jam to cool for a few minutes so it thickens further.
5 minutes
Chill in the fridge to speed up cooling.
- 3
Lightly toast the wholemeal bread slices on a pan or in a toaster until just golden.
3 minutes
Toasting prevents the bread from becoming soggy when spread with jam.

Optional: Spread a thin layer of low-fat butter on one side of each bread slice while still warm. The heat will help melt the butter and bring out the aroma of pandan.
2 minutes
For a more aromatic touch, infuse the butter with a little pandan beforehand.
