Cooking notes
Prepare the tender heart of a fresh banana blossom, slicing it finely into lime-acidulated water; drain well. Poach the prawns until opaque and cooked through, then cool. Stir coconut milk, fish sauce, lime juice, palm sugar and Thai roasted chilli paste into a punchy dressing. Toss the blossom with the prawns, thinly sliced shallots and coriander. Finish with crushed roasted cashews and red chilli. Add the cashews at the last moment to preserve their crunch. Our dish suggestion; adapted from Nu Suandokmai via SBS Food — Banana Flower Salad .
