Chinese cooking focuses on contrasts and balance, and this simple, sweet dessert is no exception. Crispy on the outside, gooey in the center, this Chinese fried bananas recipe is a sweet homemade treat.
Do you like to eat bananas? How do you eat bananas? Eat directly? Making a banana drink or cake? Or make it into a banana cream pie? They all have their own delicacies, and I’m going to share with you today a banana recipe, but not a drink or a cake. Are you curious about how I cook bananas? Let me tell you that I need to use eggs, starch, breadcrumbs. and hot oil. Hearing this you may know what I want to do. Yes, it’s the same ingredient as a simple fried chicken cutlet! We roll the bananas in those ingredients and fry them in hot oil!
Our finished product will have a crispy coating and the banana in the middle will be hot and soft, almost like melted cheese, although it won’t be stringy. This is a sweet snack. If you like, please make fried bananas with us. Please be safe when working with the hot oil.
Fried Bananas
Equipment
- 1 wok or deep Dutch oven
Ingredients
- 2 bananas
- 2 eggs
- 30 g starch
- 40 g Panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients. Whisk the eggs until thoroughly mixed and place the starch and breadcrumbs on dry plates.2 eggs, 30 g starch, 40 g Panko breadcrumbs
- Peel the bananas and cut each banana into 3 portions.2 bananas
- Add enough oil to your wok (or Dutch Oven) to submerge the bananas. If using a wok, do not exceed 2/3 of the capacity of the wok for safety. Heat the oil to 120°-150° C (250°-300° F).
- While the oil is heating, dip the bananas in the egg, then roll in the starch for a even, thin coating. Then dip the bananas in the egg again and coat evenly with the breadcrumbs.2 bananas, 30 g starch, 40 g Panko breadcrumbs, 2 eggs
- Once the oil reaches 120°-150° C (250°-300° F), fry the bananas in the hot oil over low heat for about 1 minute.
- Remove when the surface of the breadcrumbs begins to turn crispy and golden brown. Let the oil drain back into the pan.
Notes
- When we use hot oil, we need to pay attention to keeping the kitchenware and ingredients that the hot oil comes into contact with as dry as possible
- We don’t need a very thick starch, just a thin, even layer of wrapped bananas.
- When frying bananas, turn them over to allow the bananas to heat evenly to avoid the browning of the breadcrumbs.
