Bua Din Flower

Material Two large leeks Equipment Sharp-pointed knife Carving knife scissors

Instructions

1. Cut off the roots and leaves of the leek and cut out a section about three inches long from the base.

2. Make cuts through the outermost leaf layer lengthwise from one end nearly to the other to divide it into five parts.

3. In a similar manner, make cuts through the next leaf layer dividing it into five parts. The centers of these strips should be between those of the outer ring. Continue in this manner to the innermost leaf. Then, separate the strips from each other with the fingers.

4. Round off the tip of each strip with the scissors, and then soak the flower in very cold water so that the petals curl.
