Stir-fried Pork with Banana Flower

Stir-fried Pork with Banana Flower

　　Made with one inner banana flower and 100 grams of fresh dog meat (if fresh dog meat is unavailable, pork can be used as a substitute). To cook, remove the petals of the banana flower, wash and finely chop them, then marinate briefly with a little salt, rinse, squeeze out moisture to remove bitterness. Slice the dog meat thinly or mince it (the same goes for pork), first stir-fry the meat in oil over high heat until about 80% cooked, then add the banana flower along with an appropriate amount of salt and MSG, and stir-fry until done. This dish was traditionally served during housewarming celebrations but, due to its unique flavor, has become commonly served to guests in restaurants. (Xishuangbanna)
