Meal Procedure
- Choose a ripe langka. It should have a slightly soft exterior and emit a sweet, fruity aroma.
- Wash the langka thoroughly under running water.
- Cut off the stem and peel off the tough outer skin using a sharp knife. It's helpful to wear gloves to prevent sticky fingers.
- Cut the langka into wedges or bite-sized pieces, removing the core and discarding any remaining seeds.
- Chilling:
- Plain: Place the langka pieces in a bowl and cover them with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until chilled.
- With additional flavors: If using optional ingredients like lime juice, honey, or coconut cream, toss the langka pieces with your desired flavorings before chilling.
