Azah Johari, 61, is an advocate of natural ingredients and uses the freshest ingredients in her cooking. The Kedahan who launched her YouTube cooking channel, Senduk kayu last year, tries her best to avoid ingredients modified ingredients from its natural form. Her fridge is well stocked with fresh produce, including coconut milk, grated coconut, herbs and vegetables, which she buys from her neighbourhood market. Boxed coconut milk, store-bought chilli paste, flavour enhancers and food colouring are a no-no in her kitchen.
“We live in Malaysia where fresh produce, including vegetables, meat and santan (coconut milk) are available in abundance. Instead of flavour enhancers, use natural ingredients like coconut water, screwpine leaves or lemon grass. Opt for natural food coloring like turmeric or pandan leaf extract, ” says Azah.
