(Baonghean.vn) - When talking about Anh Son specialties, we cannot ignore banana flower pickle. This rustic dish has become a brand that anyone who comes here wants to enjoy.

If Thanh Chuong pickled vegetables are made from young jackfruit, then in Anh Son the main ingredients to make pickled vegetables are banana flowers and wild bamboo shoots. |
 |
To have a delicious jar of pickled vegetables, the selection of ingredients plays a decisive role. The banana flower chosen is usually wild banana flower, with beautiful color. |
 |
After being put into the jar or earthenware pot, the pickled vegetables can be eaten after about 2-3 days. However, to make the pickled vegetables delicious and flavorful, people usually leave them for about a week, so that the banana flowers and bamboo shoots can absorb all the spices. |
 |
Banana flowers after being soaked in salt water have a white color and no longer taste bitter. |
 |
Banana flower pickled cucumber can be eaten raw, in salads, stir-fried or cooked in sour soup. No matter how it is prepared, it is delicious and attractive. In the cold winter, pickled cucumber stir-fried with pork belly seasoned with chili and sugar is delicious with hot rice. The sour taste of pickled cucumber, the sweetness of sugar, the spiciness of chili, the sticky pickled cucumber strands mixed with fat make it very rich and crispy. Or simply pickled cucumber dipped in garlic fish sauce, eaten with rice and soup is equally delicious. |

From a simple delicacy, Anh Son banana flower pickle has now become a specialty, sold and sent everywhere as gifts. |
