Daylily Stirfry

Make base in wok:
1/3 c garlic & shallot, very finely chopped or mashed
1 Tbs picked ginger
1/2 tsp chopped turmeric root
1/3 c. guava paste
dash black sesame seeds
oil & cooking vinegar, sufficient to create a thin paste

Add 1 bowl green beans, toss/sautee over high for a minute, then turn down, add a lid, and steam in the sweet sauce

Meanwhile, give a quick garlic-oil sautee to
1 c. chopped oyster mushrooms
1/2-1 c. chopped daylilly blossom
1/2 cup daylily corms, boiled in saltwater till fork-tender

Toss all that into the wok

Top with lime juice, sesame chili oil, soy sauce, an ornamental blossom, and more sesame seeds

Dessert pairing tip: Coconut cardamom custard sauce over fresh fruit salad

Think it was roughly June when all this was at peak freshness.
