Crispy Fried Bananas

This is a very common street food in Vietnam called Banh Chuoi - Fried Banana. I learn this recipe from a Vietnamese women (she sells Banh Chuoi for her whole life she said ) a long time ago, and here I am today, writing in English to show the world her recipe. Thanks to her!

Cooking Method:
Servings: 8
You will need
  • 200 g rice flour
  • 280 ml water
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp molasses
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp black sesame seeds
  • Oil for deep-frying
Instructions
  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk together all the ingredients, except bananas and vegetable oil, until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Peel and cut each banana in halves lengthwise. Place one sliced banana in a plastic wrap and slightly flatten it up. Transfer to the batter bowl and  flatten the other half. Then now place it over the 1st slice ( they should stick together ).

  3. 3

    Dip into the batter and deep-fry until it's lightly golden.

    Take the banana out from oil and place in the batter bowl to coat one more time. Bring back to deep-fry until it's golden brown and puffy,
