This week's Plant-Based Cooking Challenge π¨πΏβπ³ Week #21 included banana blossoms, so I wanted to make a recipe and share it with you all. I went to pick some from the landlordβs garden because the landlord never uses them.
This Cambodian recipe is usually made with chicken or pork and even with fish sauce also, but I changed it to Ital for my family. The banana blossoms can be used in many ways, so if I have them again I will share another recipe with everyone again. Hope you all enjoy it.

Ingredients For Salad
- 2 small banana blossoms

- 1 big red chili (spicy)

- 1/2 red onion
- 1/2 tsp salt or taste
- 1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar or taste
- 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
Normally I would use basil and coriander leaves, but I do not have them so I used parsley because it's easy to find in the store. I can eat parsley but I donβt like it very much.
Slice red onions, garlic, green onion, parsley, and chilies.
Peel the old outer layers off and use only the young inner layers. Take some water and add a little salt and lime juice so it doesn't change color to black.
Then slice the banana blossoms little by little and put in the water. If we wait too long after we cut them before putting in the water, they will to black.

After remove them from the water and squeeze them.
Put salt, brown sugar, soy sauce, lime juice and nutritional yeast in a bowl and stir it until dissolved.
Then add blossoms, chilies, garlic, red onion, and mix up together and taste it. Then add green onions, parsley and crushed roasted peanuts and fried tofu. Mix it up again, itβs ready.
Have a beautiful day everybody and stay safe π.
