These are dok daang, or ‘earring flower’ which are in season right now. They’re delicious as mok - steamed with herbs, rice powder, and perhaps chicken, wrapped in banana leaves and steamed.

We’ve had a loss in the family, and after today’s funeral proceedings, we’re making mok moo sai youk. Minced pork belly, steamed in banana leaf with herbs, spices and the interior of the banana tree. This latter is called youk, and that’s what you can see in this video, as they twirl bamboo skewers through it in order to remove the sap. This dish is particularly served at funerals, and is a local specialty in Joy’s village.
