HOW TO MAKE FRIED BANANAS

Steps:

• Before beginning this quick recipe, you should be aware that you can make fried bananas on their own or prepare them with honey to bring out their sweet taste even more. Both instructions are given here for you to choose the variety that you most like.
• Before starting, prepare the oil for frying in a pan. Do not skimp on it by merely placing a few drops in, because you need to be able to fry them. So, cover all your pan with the oil. Next, place the pan on the hob over a medium heat and leave it to heat up. If you don't normally cook with oil, you can use butter.
• Whilst the pan is heating on the hob, peel the bananas with a peeler and slice them up. You can chop them into slices, although we recommend you chop them into vertical slices of a centimetre or so in thickness. In this way, you will ensure that the banana does not disintegrate and stays firm when frying.
• When the heat is hot, add the pieces of banana to the pan. Leave them in the oil until they are golden brown. Remember to turn them over so that they fry on both sides. When the bananas are slightly brown on both sides it means they are ready. Now just take them out of the pan and place them in a sheet of kitchen paper, to absorb the excess oil. After this they're ready to consume.
• If you prefer to add sweetness to your bananas, you can add some honey before placing them in the pan. You can also coat them with chopped almonds to give them a different texture. They'll taste delicious!
• When they have browned well, serve them hot. Another trick for adding flavour is to add a squeeze of lemon on top. They'll be really tasty and you'll delight your guests with this sweet addition to your savoury dishes.

• For the bananas: Place the brown sugar in a pie dish or on a plate. Toss the bananas in the brown sugar until nicely coated. Melt the butter in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter becomes golden brown. Add the bananas to the hot pan cut-side down. Turn the bananas over as soon as they are golden brown and the sugar forms a crunchy coat on the bananas, about 30 seconds per side (do not allow bananas to become soft and mushy). Divide the bananas between 2 shallow bowls or plates. Spoon the chocolate sauce over the bananas. Sprinkle with the toasted almonds, and serve immediately.
• Cook's Notes: To toast the almonds, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 6 to 8 minutes until lightly toasted. Cool completely before using.
• An alternate way to melt the chocolate is to combine the chocolate and water in a small metal bowl over a small saucepan of simmering water, and stir the chocolate mixture until melted and smooth. Remove the bowl from over the water and set aside.

• Place the flour, eggs, and bread crumbs each in a separate bowl. Dredge the banana halves in flour to get an even coating. Shake to remove excess flour. Next, soak the banana halves in the beaten eggs mixed with 1 tsp water. Finally, cover the banana halves in bread crumbs.
• Fry each half until lightly golden (do NOT overcrowd the pan), about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon. Place on a plate lined with a double layer of paper towels.

FRIED BANANAS FOSTER

Steps:

• Prepare the bananas: Place granulated sugar in a shallow pie plate or baking dish. Toss bananas in sugar; shake off excess.
• Place 4 spring roll wrappers on a work surface with 1 point facing you (so that they look like diamonds). Place 1 banana on each wrapper, 1 inch above bottom point. Carefully begin wrapping banana from the bottom up, keeping the roll as tight as possible. Fold in the sides of the wrapper (like a burrito). Brush 1 inch of top point with some of the beaten egg, and continue to wrap, pressing to secure roll. Repeat with remaining bananas, wrappers, and egg. Place rolls in a single layer on a sheet pan lined with a damp paper towel. Freeze 1 hour.
• Heat oil to 325°F in a large Dutch oven. Fry banana rolls, 2 or 3 at a time, until golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

THAI FRIED BANANAS (KLUAI KHAEK)

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat a wok or skillet with oil about 3/4 to 1-inch deep.
• Meanwhile, prepare the bananas by peeling and slicing them in half. Then slice each section in half again, but lengthwise this time.
• In a medium mixing bowl, place all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of rice flour, cornstarch, salt, and 2 tablespoons of the shredded coconut and stir to combine.
• In a measuring cup, mix together cold water with baking soda until dissolved and pour into bowl with flour mixture.
• Add the egg and the vanilla. Stir well until fully combined.
• Place remaining 1/3 cup rice flour in a separate, dry bowl and add remaining one tablespoon shredded coconut. Mix well and set next to the batter.
• Dip banana pieces first in the batter, then gently dredge them in the rice flour-coconut mixture. This last step helps firm up the batter and is the secret to creating a crisp, rather than soggy, coating. (Depending on the size of your bananas, you might need to make more of this rice flour-coconut mixture.) You're now ready for frying.
• Make sure the oil is hot (350 to 375 F). You can test it with a breadcrumb. If it sizzles and cooks within a few seconds, the oil is hot enough for frying.
• Carefully place coated bananas in the hot oil. Fry approximately 1 minute per side, or until batter puffs up slightly and turns light- to medium-golden brown. Remove from heat and drain on paper towel.
• Serve your fried bananas as soon as possible as is, or with a side of coconut or vanilla ice cream. For a fancier presentation, place them on a serving platter and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
