  • 🎥 Vegan Jungle food in Thailand: • Eating WILD FERN 🌿 + S...
    I’m always excited when food that we grow at home is ready to eat, and so I was thrilled when we were ready to harvest and cook a banana blossom (flower) from our yard. #Thailand #vegan #plantbased
    Bananas are an amazing tree and fruit. They produce just one stalk of fruit, and actually when you cut off the flower, it increases the size of the fruit. First step, we cut down the banana flower. My Mother in law removed the outer petals of the flower and we only used the inner core white part for this recipe.
    Thai plant based (vegan) food recipe: Gaeng Liang (แกงเลียงมังสวิรัติ)
    The best thing about this recipe is that it’s very easy and you can make it with any assortment of vegetables, tubers, and leaves, but two most important things are the black pepper and the lemon basil. And in our case the banana flower.
    First, pound some shallots with black pepper, a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper. This works well because it releases the flavor of the pepper and the shallot oils and creates a pepper paste. Dissolve this paste into boiling water. Then you start by adding the vegetables that take the longest to cook. Then keep adding vegetables as you go and season with salt. The final step is to toss in a basin of lemon basil, fold it into the soup, and then turn off your heat. You just want to wilt the lemon basil so it remains fragrant.
    Again, this vegan Thai food recipe is very simple, but it’s so refreshing, so peppery, and such a good way to make use of a banana flower blossom.
    Thank you for watching and hope you’re having a fantastic day!

    Banana flower = lafu tharo
    Winter melon= khongdrum
    Mushroom=chengum
    Lemon basil=mayangton
    The gourd type😀=sebot
    in Manipuri (Northeast India)
    We love eating those. We even eat the hard cover of banana blossom.
    So good to see similar foods like ours. Thanks and all the best.

    In India, we use the mature flowers as well (the part of blossom that was discarded). We remove some specific floral parts from it (from each flower), cut it finely, soak it in water for some time, and then stir fry with onions, grated coconut, and a spice mix/chilli powder. It goes so well with rice or chapati. We also make pancakes with finely copped banana flowers. We roast the pancakes over banana leaves. Thanks for sharing your mother in law's recipe! I will definitely try it next time. Sending love from India to you and your family!

    My God, I cant belive that she threw the tiny banana buds out. That is so good. We love it. In Bengal we never throw any of the vegetable out - root, stem flower, skin, flesh, seeds. That is the right way to eat vegetables. Never throw any of the earth’s bounty away.

    • @geekay2023
      @geekay2023 4 года назад +4

      I was thinking exactly that! We use the banana buds mixed with lentils for a nutritious veggie dish, the petals to steam food, and the stalk for a dry roast curry with coconut. The beauty of a banana plant is every bit of it is edible and useful in some way.

    • @BigOnSpiceMarkWiens

    My grandma used to always cook the banana blossom stew in a coconut milk(แกงหัวปลี) for me since it has always been my all time favourite dish! It was a dish that you would never find in any restaurant so I only get to had it occasionally. I remember it very cleary that she used tamarind juice, galangal slices, kaffir leaves, chicken (with bones), shallots, grounded pepper+coriander root+garlic, and additional seasonings like fish sauce or soy sauce. The banana blossoms had to be the fresh one so there are less sap and less stringly when you eat. Out of all meat, chicken taste the best (but you can also not put it in) but when you put the chicken in, make sure to not stir it too much or the soup will be smelly(if I remember it correctly?)
    No one prob sees this comment, but I wanna write it down anyway. It was a very comforting, and nostalgic dishes for me whenever I miss my home(I lived abroad, and it was very hard to try to recreate one since all the exotic ingredients were all frozen. So I’d rather not make one at all.) It taste tangy from the tamarind, yet very creamy but not too heavy.

    • @zachariahstillwater

      I have fresh tamarind can you suggest how to cook with it or make juice ?

    • @kion5155
      @kion5155 2 года назад +1

      @@zachariahstillwater Yes sure! To make juice, you just need to soak the tamarind flesh(one that was already pitted) in hot water to soften it then you squeeze it & grind it by hand. In Pailin's video (I'll leave the link down below) she said there's no fix amount of water for this but I suggest you go with less water (so that you can add more after without worry.)
      Normally, people use tamarind to cook dish that taste sweet & sour. Popular dishes I can think of is Pad Thai & Son-in-law eggs, Tamarind often use as an ingredient for a dipping sauce too (eg. Nam jim jaew น้ำจิ้มแจ่ว)
      I recommend watching Pailin's Kitchen and Marion's kitchen for any Thai recipe.
      *I also reaaaaaaally recommend trying the Pad Thai and the Thai style steak with Nam jim jaew recipe(I don't eat beef but I know it's good lol)*

    @ 4:00 That "winter melon" as you called it is called Bottle Gourd or Long squash, also called Opo. In India it is called with a lot of names but the most common being Dudhi and Lauki. Those long green ones that you called Zucchini are called Snake gourd and some varieties grow long and curl like a snake and hence the name. Dont let the name scare you, they are rich in iron and a lot of essential nutrients. They grow everywhere but they are mostly consumed in the Indian subcontinent and South east Asia to some extent.

    We, Malaysian Siamese use the banana blossoms as the main vegetables in Kaengsom (แกงส้ม) with Siew York (roasted pork). Another menu would be use them (stim first) to make kerabu/salad (ยำ) with ferns, some kerisik (roasted coconut shreds paste) and sour mango. A blend of south thai, some chinese and Malay dishes which is staple for us Malaysian Siamese. So yummy🥰

    This is how all the dishes in Asia were prepared before arrival of chillies in cuisine. All black pepper/sichuan pepper based dishes.

      Don’t forget Mustard, seeds and oil. Definitely pre colonial.

      @@asherbeal8357 ofcourse, most of the spices are native to Asia but I am talking about the heat in the dish was added only by means of black pepper and not chillies during pre-colonial times.

    In the south indian cuisine -kerala and tamilnadu, we use the banana (green and ripe), the stem of the banana tree and the banana flower. When we were small, we used to drink the nectar out of the flowers. Of course banana leaves are used in cooking and serving. Fun fact: In kerala, banana stems served as the noodles used to learn swimming in the ponds for kids, very good floatation device. Nothing from the plant goes to waste.

    that banana flower is one of the main ingredients of Mo-Hinga. You can often see slices of it in the soup when it's pour over the noodles.
