How to Peel Sugarcane (5 Steps)
Sugar cane is used as an ingredient in Vietnamese dishes, such as Chao Tom--grilled shrimp paste wrapped around sugar cane. You can also eat it alone, as a treat, in place of candy or gum. Sugar cane grows in long, jointed stalks, similar to bamboo. The plant has a hard outer rind, which you will need to remove prior to eating. The rind is actually fairly easy to remove; all you need is a cheap chef's knife.
Things You'll Need
- Chef's knife
- Cutting board
Instructions
-
Use the chef's knife to chop the sugar cane into pieces no more than 6 inches long. Remove and discard any joints.
-
Stand the sugar cane on end on the cutting board and place the edge of the knife at the edge of the rind--where the rind meets the pulp.
-
Press firmly, to embed the knife into the sugar cane. Lift the knife--the cane should remain attached to the knife--and drive the knife straight down in one swift motion to cut through the rind.
-
Peel the piece of rind away and repeat the same knife motion all the way around the piece of sugar cane.
-
Follow Steps 2 through 4 on any remaining pieces of sugar cane.
