How to make Fried Banana with Crispy Coating
-
Prepare the batter
Place the crispy frying flour in a bowl, crack in 1 egg and whisk it together with the crispy frying flour. Pour the panko breadcrumbs into a separate bowl.
To enhance the flavor of the dish, add 1/2 bowl (rice bowl) of unsweetened fresh milk (or sweetened milk as desired). Gradually add the milk to the prepared crispy frying flour, then stir well until the batter reaches a certain thickness, not too thick or too thin.
-
Prepare the bananas and coat with flour
Peel the bananas and remove the stringy fibers around the banana. Then, coat the bananas with the prepared crispy frying flour. Next, roll the bananas in panko breadcrumbs so that the coating is even.
If you prefer a thicker coating, you can roll the bananas in a layer of wet batter followed by another layer of panko breadcrumbs. Place the bananas in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. This method helps the crispy coating stay on the bananas when frying.
-
Fry the bananas
Prepare a pan with 350ml of cooking oil, heat the oil until boiling, and then add the bananas to fry until fully submerged in oil over low heat.
Turn the bananas frequently to prevent them from burning. Fry until both sides are golden, then remove and drain the oil, and they are ready to enjoy.
Tip: To keep the bananas crispy for longer, you can fry them twice. The first time fry until the bananas are slightly golden, then remove and let them rest for 2 – 3 minutes before frying them a second time until they are golden and crispy.

Finished product
Thus, we now have a delicious, attractive dish of double-layer battered fried bananas to treat the whole family. The outer batter is fried to a golden, fragrant, crispy, and rich texture, while the bananas inside are sweet, soft, and addictive.

Preparation of bananas
Peel the bananas you bought, remove the fibers around the banana stem, then cut the bananas into pieces about 1/2 finger thick and place them in a plate.
-
Mixing the batter
Put the banana flour and sugar you have prepared into a large bowl and use a spoon to mix well. Next, add 125ml of filtered water and use a chopsticks to stir until the batter reaches a certain smooth consistency, not too thick and not too runny.
-
Coat the banana with flour
Put all the sliced bananas into the bowl of the prepared banana frying powder, use a spoon to mix so that the flour coats the bananas evenly, then pick up each piece of banana and roll it in an additional layer of breadcrumbs, doing the same until all the remaining bananas are coated.
After finishing the coating, let the bananas sit outside for about 20 minutes before frying. This method helps to minimize the breadcrumbs falling off the banana when frying.

Fried Bananas
Place a pot on the stove, add 300ml of cooking oil into the pot, heat it over medium-high heat, and wait for the oil to get hot. Then, add the bananas that have been coated in flour and fry them in the oil over medium heat, frequently turning the bananas to prevent burning. Fry until both sides of the bananas are golden brown, then turn off the stove, remove them to drain the oil, and enjoy.

How to choose fresh and delicious bananas
- You should choose bananas that are about the size of 2 fingers, not too large.
- Pay attention to choosing bananas where you can see green and yellow fruits in the bunch, rather than all ripe, as this indicates naturally ripened bananas.
- For the fried banana dish, you should choose to buy Siamese bananas because they are sweeter and tastier when fried compared to other types of bananas.
- Ripe Siamese bananas have a yellow skin that is slightly dry, thin, with a slightly darkened surface; these are tasty and chewy bananas. Occasionally, there are some dark spots on the skin.
- Avoid choosing bananas that are evenly ripe in the bunch, as they may have been artificially ripened. Do not buy bananas that are bruised or mushy.
Where to buy frying flour?
- You can buy banana frying flour, crispy frying flour at markets, supermarkets, especially at the nearest TasteVN supermarket.
