Key Ingredient
Banana bell salad recipe
- Cuisine: Thai
Ingredients
1 kg banana bell (banana flower), sliced
½ barbecued chicken or a whole poached chicken breast - diced
2 tbsp Thai mint
2 eschallots, sliced thinly
1 stalk lemongrass
3 kaffir lime leaves, shredded
1 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 birds eye red chillies
½ lemon wedge
4 coriander sprigs to garnish
4 Thai basil leaves to garnish
2 tbsp toasted ground rice
Preparation
Wash the banana bell thoroughly and slice into thin shreds.
Leave to soak in cold water with slices of lemon.
After rinsing 2-3 times, squeeze out excess water and transfer into a large mixing bowl.
In another bowl, mix the cooked chicken with lemon juice, lime leaves, ground rice, chillies, fish sauce, and salt to taste.
To this mixture add the sliced banana bell, mint, and eschalots.
Lightly mix, taking care not to bruise the banana bell.
Garnish with coriander and Thai basil.
Banana bell salad is traditionally served with steamed sticky rice or as an accompaniment to a meal.
Note :
To make ground rice, lightly toast a handful of uncooked glutinous rice into a hot wok. Stir constantly until the rice browns, then grind, using a mortar and pestle, to a rough consistency (much like ground coffee). Alternatively, use a coffee grinder.

Hot Tips
Cooking beans
When cooking with beans (such as black beans or kidney beans), any acidic ingredients (lemon, vinegar, tomatoes or wine) should be added towards the end of the cooking, as the acid makes beans hard.
