1 BANANA BLOSSOM
SOME SHALLOTS
MINT LEAVES
GINGER
BASIL
THAI CHILI SAUCE
LEMON JUICE
Honey - it will be up to your liking on how much sweetness you will want. I am using honey for this recipe instead of the traditional Sugar.

ROASTED PEANUT - In Vietnam, It is important to have roasted peanut . But I Do not like peanut on my meal. So I remove it.

                      **_OPTIONAL**_

FRESH CHILI
SOME CHICKEN, PRAWNS
ROASTED PEANUT

While cutting the Banana Blossoms, I quickly place it in a bowl of ice water added with lemon juice into the water to avoid the blossoms from getting black.

Bear in mind that you do not need to have prawns. You can add chicken or some other kind of meat. Or better still no meat at all. Serve it as that..
