Acacia flowers

Some forum users asked how to eat acacia flowers. I have never eaten acacia flowers, but I have heard about them. Here are a few examples:

How to make acacia flowers

1. Wash and blanch with boiling water, mix with flour and eggs to make a batter, then fry in oil.

2. After washing, mix with flour and steam. After steaming, mix and season with salt, sesame oil, onion, garlic, etc.

3. Steamed buns. Use five-spice aniseed to marinate the dried vegetables to remove the earthy and dry taste, squeeze out the water, chop it with a knife, and steam the buns with minced meat and vermicelli as stuffing. The taste is really great.

4. Stir-fry the meat. Use pork belly with a little fat, or marinate it with five-spice powder. It doesn't matter if you chop it or not, and squeeze out the water. Stir-fry the pork belly until the oil comes out, add green and red peppers, and add Sophora japonica flowers. It tastes really good when eaten with rice. Remember to use meat with a little fat, so that the oil can moisten the Sophora japonica flowers and not dry out your mouth.
