​​
HOW TO PREPARE:
  • ​Trim off stem of banana heart. Peel and discard the outer, fibrous skin layers of banana heart until you reach the lighter, softer core. Cut in half and slice thinly. Soak in cold water with salt for 20 minutes then squeeze to release bitter sap. Rinse at least 3-4 times and drain well. Set aside.
  • In a pan or wok, heat cooking oil.
  • Saute garlic then add onion and cook until translucent.
  • Add pork and cook, stirring occasionally until color turns light brown. 
  • Add fish sauce and continue to cook for about 5 minutes or until pork is tender.
  • Add the banana heart. Stir occasionally and cook until softened and releases liquid, about 5-10 minutes. 
  • Add the coconut milk. Cover and simmer while stirring occasionally about for 10 minutes or until sauce gets thick.
  • Add chili pepper (if desired). 
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve with hot steamed rice.
    ​Enjoy!
