2 cups julienned daikon radish |
1 cup bean sprouts, rinsed |

Directions:
1. In a small bowl, add the water and squeeze the lemon into the bowl. Soak the ribbons of banana flower in the lemon water for 20 minutes and then drain. In a large mixing bowl, combine the banana flower, daikon radish, bean sprouts, papaya, chile, cilantro, and peanuts.
2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sweet and sour sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Pour the sauce over the banana flower mixture and toss gently to coat evenly. Refrigerate the salad for 1 hour before serving. Garnish with roasted, chopped, unsalted peanuts and flower petals.
