Ingredients:
1 small banana blossom

How to make pig ear banana blossom salad:
Step 1:
Start by thinly slicing the banana blossoms. Opt for younger blossoms, as older ones may impart bitterness, resulting in a tougher salad.
Slice the banana blossoms into thin pieces and immediately soak them in rice washing or cold water with a splash of lime/vinegar. This little trick ensures that the pig ear banana blossom salad remains unstained and maintains a delightful crispiness when eaten.
Soak the banana blossoms for about 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly and drain the water.
Step 2:
Purchase pork ears and clean them thoroughly with water. Rub them with salt, vinegar, or white wine to cleanse and eliminate any unpleasant odor.
Next, boil the pork ears on the stove for approximately 15 minutes. Once cooked, remove and let them cool. Then, slice the pork ears into thin, elongated pieces.
Step 3:
Peel and finely chop the garlic.
Clean and finely chop the washed chili, removing the seeds.
Clean and thinly slice the tangy star apples.
Peel the cucumber, soak it in rice water to remove the sap, then cut it into long, thin pieces.
Step 4:
Roast the peanuts until golden and then let them cool in a cloth to preserve their crispiness. Be cautious with the heat, and remember to turn them evenly to avoid burning.
Remove the peanut shells and crush them into small pieces. Be careful not to crush them too finely; aim for broken pieces about 2-3 times the size.
Step 5:
Prepare the salad dressing in the following proportions: 3 teaspoons sugar, 2 teaspoons vinegar (you can use lime juice as an alternative), 1 teaspoon fish sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, minced garlic, and chopped chili.
Combine banana blossoms, pig's ear, khaki, raw vegetables, and cucumber in a large bowl. Pour the salad dressing over the mixture, toss well, and season to taste.
Step 6: Finished Product
Finally, let the ingredients marinate in the seasoning for about 15 minutes. Then, arrange the salad on a plate and indulge. This crispy and delicious pig ear banana blossom salad is sure to satisfy you and your family. Don't forget to garnish with a few fresh herb leaves on top!
