Last time, I've let you know about how to cook for Banana Blossom - "Banana Blossom Spicy Salad (Yam Hua Plee)". But there are many varies cookings for these, "Sausage Salad with Banana Blossom" or "Yam Sai Grok Hua Plee" (in Thai) is one of them. Banana Blossom or Hua Plee is Thai herb that can heal "Peptic Ulcer" - do you remember ???

Hua Plee (in Thai), also called banana flowers and banana blossoms, these are in fact the tender hearts of unopened banana flowers, which have been stripped of their purple petals. They are available fresh in some Asian markets and also canned or dried. Fresh banana buds discolour rapidly once they are sliced or shredded, so should be brushed with lemon juice to prevent this. Banana buds are used in northern Thailand to make a tasty, squash soup. They are also a popular salad ingredient, tasting rather like artichokes.
