Fried Bananas
These bananas are dipped in egg, then cornstarch, then egg, and finally breadcrumbs and deep-fried to a light golden-brown. The cooked bananas 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.
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.
