Bong Bi Xao (Vietnamese Sauteed Squash Blossoms)

So very many squash blossoms. I've made deep-fried squash blossoms stuffed with minced shrimp. I then made deep-fried squash blossoms. Should I take my youngest uncle's suggestion and blanch them? I decided to do a quick saute instead.

  2. Sauteed with garlic and dip in fish sauce sounds good too! You are making me hungry. Must go and find squash blossoms at the farmer's market this weekend.

  3. Wow - that's really interesting. I never knew that the blossoms were edible! Looks like you've been doing a whole series on squash blossoms! I'll definitely have to look out for these - never seen them at the market at all...hehe - maybe at the florist?

    EMWK,
    Good luck finding them. I hope you like eating them too.

    W&S,
