Thai Fried Bananas

SUBMITTED BY: veggigoddess

"This is one of my favorite recipes. I have it every time I go to a Thai restaurant topped with coconut ice cream or drizzled with honey. If you have never tried it, now is the time, it's so good! I use Nam, a variety of banana which can be found at most Asian Markets. You can also use sweet potatoes in this recipe."

INGREDIENTS

  • 3/4 cup white rice flour
  • 1/4 cup tapioca flour
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 10 bananas
  • 3 cups oil for frying

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a medium bowl, mix rice flour, tapioca, sugar, salt and coconut. Stir in water, a little at a time, and mix to form a thick batter.
  2. Peel the bananas and cut each lengthwise into 3 or 4 pieces. Heat oil in deep-fryer or deep wok to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  3. Completely coat each banana slice in batter, then fry in hot oil until golden. Drain on paper towels. Serve at once.

Editor's Note

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.

Followed the directions but the sauce was very thin, not pasty at all. Used the Nam bananas and everything, it was okay. I would use the premade mix for bananas sold in the Asian markets next time, too much trouble for nothing better than a cheaper premade mix. Sorry.

A fabulous recipe!! Even better fried with sesame seeds, and drizzled with honey when finished. Ice cream goes perfectly as well.
