"My family begs me to make this recipe. I always double it. A fat separator is a must. Also Emeril uses gas making the reducing time much faster. I find using a large skillet works well to get the job done much faster. I also work at a higher heat then he recommends. One more tip for making this gluten free... they make gluten free soy but not hoisen. Use plum sauce in place of the hoisen and the results are almost identical!

"I first tried and fell in love with banana blossom salad on a trip to Vietnam. The first time I had it in the states 4 years after my travels was at Ana Mandara on my Honeymoon. What memories. If it is infact the same recipe it was fantastic. I will be test driving the recipe this weekend.
