Thai Fried Bananas Recipe (Authentic Kluay Kaek)

Nguyên liệu

• 30 Thai bananas (see notes)
• 14 oz or about 3 cups rice flour
• 3/4 cup tempura flour
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut
• 2 cups ice-cold water
• 1/3 cup coconut milk (full-fat)
• 2 tbsp sesame seeds
• 1/2 cup white sugar

Cách làm

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine rice flour, tempura flour, shredded coconut, sugar, and sesame seeds. Create an opening in the middle, and slowly add ice-cold water while whisking to blend. Follow this up by adding in coconut milk and whisking.

2. 2

   Cut the bananas into 3 thin slices each. Submerge all your banana slices into the prepared batter.

3. 3

   Place a large wok or deep-frying pan filled with oil over medium-low heat. If you have them, you can add fresh pandan for extra aroma, totally optional.

4. 4

   Use kitchen tongs to dip the banana slices into the batter, making sure they're well-coated.

5. 5

   Deep-fry the bananas, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, or you'll end up with a sticky mess. Flip regularly for even frying.

6. 6

   Fry until golden-brown and crisp. Take them out and let them drain on a sieve or paper towel to get rid of excess oil.
