Cooking for Steemit #51 - Banana Blossom Salad With Shrimps

Hi, welcome back to cooking! Today I will show you yummy food from Banana Blossom! In Thailand banana blossom has lots of benefit, Thai people like to use it to cook different meals. I'm going to show you my favourite one, which is Banana Blossom Salad with Shrimps! Lets cook now! ;)

Ingredients:

• 3 limes
• 1 sliced corainder
• 2 tablespoons of pounded peanuts

Flavoring:

• 1 tablespoon of chilli paste
• 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons of fish sauce

Step 1: Prepare the Banana Blossom

• First, add pure water into a big bowl, slice 1 lime and squeeze it into the bowl, mix it together.
• Slice banana blossom and put into a bowl very quickly, mix it with water for 20 minutes (this is the way to make slice banana blossom look very fresh and have a beautiful color)

Step 2: Fry shallots!

• Slice the shallots and fry them with very hot oil until the shallots get brown, remove to the plate. ;)

Step 3: Mix the salad sauce

• Add chilli paste, brown sugar, fish sauce, pounded peanuts and squeeze 2 limes into a bowl. Then mix them together.

Step 4: Boil shrimps.

• Set the pot and boil water, add shrimps into the pot and boil them for 3 minutes, then remove to a plate.

Step 5: Cooking Banana Blossom Salad with Shrimp!

• Add sliced banana blossom and boiled shrimps into a bit bigger bowl.

• Add salad sauce, fried shallots and sliced coriander into a bowl, mix all the ingredients together (emm…smells great!).

• The salad is finished! Time to eat now! ;)

I remember that they serve this dish in a Vietnamese restaurant I used to go to, it was so delicious! Today I cooked ot myself! Its taste is not very spicy, a little salty, a little sweet and sour, it smells great and is yummy! I hope you can cook yourself if you see banana blossom in your garden! ;)
