Fa'alifu Fa'i
A unique and flavorful side dish where firm green bananas are simmered in a savory coconut milk sauce infused with onions and a hint of spice. This dish offers a delightful texture and a taste of traditional Samoan cooking.
🧂 食材
- 4 large Green bananas(unpeeled)
- 400 ml Coconut milk(full fat)
- 1 medium Onion(thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt(or to taste)
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper(freshly ground, or to taste)
- 1 Optional: Chili(finely chopped, for a hint of spice)
👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Cut the core ends off the green bananas. Place them in a pot and cover with water. Add a splash of milk or vinegar to the water (this helps prevent the bananas from darkening).
💡 专业技巧: Using milk or vinegar in the boiling water is a traditional method to keep the bananas from turning brown. - 2
Bring the water to a boil and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the bananas are just tender and the skins begin to split. Do not overcook.
- 3
Drain the bananas and let them cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel them carefully. Slice the peeled bananas into a bowl.
💡 专业技巧: The skins should peel off easily once cooked. - 4
In a separate saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sliced onion, salt, pepper, and optional chili. Heat over medium heat until simmering.
💡 专业技巧: Ensure the onion is cooked until softened but not browned. - 5
Add the sliced green bananas to the simmering coconut milk mixture. Stir gently to combine.
💡 专业技巧: Be gentle to avoid breaking the banana slices. - 6
Simmer for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the bananas to absorb the flavors of the sauce and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Serve warm as a side dish, often with fish or chicken.
💡 专业技巧: This dish can also be served at room temperature.
💡 专业技巧
