Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, these fried bananas are a popular street food and dessert in Laos. Coated in a sweet, coconut-infused batter and fried to golden perfection, they offer a delightful balance of textures and flavors.

🧂 Ingrédients
- 8 small Namwa bananas(or 2 ripe plantains, peeled and sliced lengthwise)
- 1 1/2 cups Rice flour
- 1 cup Shredded coconut(sweetened or unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/4 cup Toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 3/4 cup Water(or as needed for batter consistency)
- 4 cups Neutral oil for frying(such as canola or vegetable oil)
👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Prepare the bananas: Peel the namwa bananas and slice them lengthwise into about 1/4-inch thick pieces. If using plantains, peel and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
💡 Conseils de pro: Ensure the banana slices are relatively uniform in thickness for even cooking. - 2
Make the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, shredded coconut, sugar, toasted sesame seeds, salt, and baking soda.
💡 Conseils de pro: Toasting sesame seeds enhances their flavor. - 3
Gradually add the water while whisking until a smooth, thick batter forms. It should be thick enough to coat the banana slices well.

Heat the oil in a deep pot or wok over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
⏱️ 5-10 minutes💡 Conseils de pro: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature. Do not let it get too hot. - 5
Dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Carefully place the battered banana slices into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
💡 Conseils de pro: Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy bananas. - 6
Fry for about 5-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bananas are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
⏱️ 5-8 minutes💡 Conseils de pro: Fry until deep golden brown for maximum crispiness.
