🍲 Sour Coconut Vegetable Hummingbird Flowers Soup 🍚 An Ital Recipe

Hi dear friends, the other day I go to the Chinese store and I saw vegetable hummingbird flowers, one plastic bag for 8 SRD. This is my first time I see them in a store in Suriname, already living here 2 years. But I still never see this tree.

Cambodians boil and eat them like a salad and we make so many different foods from these flowers. We cook or eat the leaves also. We have a dish called "samlor pkaa angkie dei" make from fish and don’t use coconut milk.

I went to make nearly that recipe but I change a little ingredients for vegan recipe.

Ingredients

• 2 double hands full of vegetable hummingbird flowers
• 150g tofu
• 1 kaffir lime leaf
• 1 small piece galangal
• 3 dried chilies
• 5 green or red chilies
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 1 stalk of coriander leaves
• 2 cups of water
• tamarind to taste
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp soy sauce

We need to pick the yellow thing inside the flowers, because the people in my country we don't eat them. I don’t know why but we do by old people. After we wash it two to three times.

Fry tofu or not fry as you like but my family like to eat fried tofu more than raw tofu.

Step 1 Boil water and add dried chilies, fresh chilies, lime leaves, sliced garlic, sliced galangal, and boil it.
Step 2 After it boils put salt, sugar, soy sauce, tamarind and coconut milk, and taste if good or not.
Step 3 After add tofu and vegetable hummingbird flowers, stir it and boil it a few minutes. After put coriander leaves, it’s ready.

You can use more coconut milk than me if you like. I like to use more, but I have on this day only 1/2 cup coconut milk.

I hope you are all well everywhere you are. Have a beautiful day.
