FRIED BANANAS

Just as South and Central American countries have their fried plantains, the Vietnamese have fried bananas, usually sold on the streets by women in front of their houses. The firmer the bananas, the better.

Provided by Millereg

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk
1 pinch salt
4 medium bananas (the firmer they are, the better)
peanut oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Mix together the flour, sugar, egg, milk and salt to make a smooth, paste-like batter.
  • Leave to rest for one hour.
  • Peel the bananas and slice each one in half lengthwise, then across into chunks about three inches long.
  • Dip the banana pieces into the batter and shallow fry in hot oil for a few minutes or until golden brown all over.
  • Drain quickly on a wire rack or paper towel, and serve warm.
  • If you like, serve them with real maple syrup, powdered sugar, or honey, for extra sweetness.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, unripe bananas for frying. Greener bananas will hold their shape better during the frying process.
  • Slice the bananas into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan or skillet for frying to prevent the bananas from sticking.
  • Heat the oil to the correct temperature before adding the bananas. If the oil is not hot enough, the bananas will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
  • Fry the bananas in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking.
  • Cook the bananas over medium heat until they are golden brown and caramelized.
  • Drain the bananas on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Serve the fried bananas immediately with your favorite toppings, such as cinnamon sugar, honey, whipped cream, or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Fried Irish bananas are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed as a snack, dessert, or side dish. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create this classic dish that is sure to please everyone.
