Prepare the ingredients
Use a knife to cut off both ends of the banana and peel off the skin.
Slice the banana in half lengthwise into two equal parts.
Use a clean plastic wrap to place half of the banana inside, then use a cutting board or knife to apply a moderate force down so that the banana piece is just slightly flattened as shown in the picture.
Continue doing this until all the prepared bananas are used up.

Fry the banana cake
Prepare a deep pan, add about 500ml of cooking oil and heat the oil over high heat.

Prepare the ingredients
Peel the banana and cut it in half.
Next, place the banana in a plastic sheet and gently press it using a rolling pin or knife so that the banana flattens slightly.
Tip:
- Use a plastic bag without handles and cut one side of the bag, so that when pressing the banana, the air escapes, making it easier to flatten the banana.
- Do not press too hard, as this will make the banana mushy, too thin, and unsuitable for frying.
-
Mix the flour
Add the following ingredients into a bowl: 200gr all-purpose flour, 50gr glutinous rice flour, 50gr sticky rice flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 50gr sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons turmeric powder (if you like a nice yellow color), and 300ml filtered water. Stir the mixture until smooth, and let the flour rest for at least 30 minutes to rise evenly.
After the flour has risen, add 100gr black sesame and use a spoon to mix the flour mixture well.
Tip: If the flour mixture is too dry, gradually add a little water and mix until it thickens; if the mixture is too runny, add a little more flour.

Fried Banana Cake
Put all the freshly mashed bananas into a bowl of flour, mix well so that the bananas are completely coated in flour.
Turn on the stove and add 500ml of oil to the pan (make sure the oil covers the bananas), and wait until the oil is hot.Pick up a piece of banana coated in flour from the bowl, lift it high to let the excess flour fall back into the bowl, then place it into the frying pan.
Fry the banana cake on low heat, regularly flipping it to ensure both sides are golden brown. Finally, remove it and place it on a plate with paper to absorb the oil.
Tip:
- Add a little flour to the pan to test; if the flour rises and sizzles, the oil is hot enough to drop the cakes in for frying.
- To keep the cakes crispy for longer, fry them twice. The first time when they are just cooked through, remove them to drain some oil, then roll them in another layer of flour and fry a second time until both sides are evenly golden, then remove to drain the oil.

Final Product
The fried banana cake is ready to be enjoyed while it’s still hot.
The golden banana cake has a crispy shell, a fragrant sesame aroma, and a sweet taste from the ripe bananas that is incredibly appealing!
How to choose fresh and delicious bananas
- Should choose a bunch of bananas with uneven ripeness (some yellow, some green) and with spots.
- Choose bananas that are of moderate size, not too small and not too large.
- Should select evenly ripened bananas with a deep yellow skin. Avoid buying bruised, overly soft bananas.
- Naturally ripened bananas will have a yellow stem and body. If the stem is green but the fruit is evenly yellow, it may have been soaked in chemicals.
- Ripened bananas from the tree will have a fragrant smell and natural sweetness, with a uniformly soft texture. In contrast, chemically treated bananas will taste slightly astringent, hard, with a bitter and sour flavor.
Successful execution tips
- The bananas for frying are ripe Sứ or Xiêm bananas; this type of banana does not become mushy when fried, has a sweet delicious taste, and is not bitter like other types of bananas.
- During the process of mixing the batter, add water gradually, little by little, while stirring. Avoid pouring too much water at once, as it can make the batter too runny and unable to coat the banana pieces.
- It is advisable to use a deep non-stick pan to minimize the chances of the batter sticking to the pan and oil splattering, making the frying process easier.
- When frying the batter, heat the oil until it is very hot before adding the bananas. Lower the heat while frying to prevent the batter from burning.
