I didn't think you could eat pandan leaves... I've always seen them being very fibrous and stringy - most recipes I've seen using them have them as a flavoring agent and then removed - like in rice or custard.

 

In my local experience in Bò 7 món the leaf is la lot. We have a huge Viet population - no idea if what they use is typical but never had it fibrous or stringy.  https://www.vietworldkitchen.com/blog/2016/06/beef-wild-betel-leaf-recipe-la-lot.html  One of our favorite communal  meals.
