Banana Blossom Salad (Nộm hoa chuối)

(Banana Blossom Salad, Nom hoa chuoi)

Nộm hoa chuối is a traditional salad originating from Vietnam. It's often made with a combination of banana blossoms, bean sprouts, white vinegar, sesame seeds, green papaya, carrots, coriander, sugar, salt, dried shrimp, roasted peanuts, and lime juice.


The salad is prepared in many versions throughout the country, so there's no fixed recipe, but pork or chicken are often added to the mix as well. The ingredients are simply mixed together, tossed, and dressed, and the salad is then served on a platter or a thick banana leaf.


It can also be additionally garnished with fried shallots, sliced chili peppers, and even more roasted peanuts on top, if desired.
