Prepare the ingredients
Soak the tapioca pearls and potato starch in water for about 2 hours until they swell, then remove them.
Peel the bananas, use a knife to slice them diagonally into small bite-sized pieces, then place them in a bowl, sprinkle with 50g of sugar and a little salt, and let them marinate for 15 minutes so that the bananas absorb the sugar evenly.
Place a pan on the stove, wait until the pan is hot, then add the peanuts and roast while stirring gently over low heat for about 15 minutes until the peanuts are golden, cooked through, and their skins crack, then turn off the heat.
After that, let them cool, then gently rub the peanuts to remove all the skins, place them in a bowl and use a pestle to crush them.
Note:
- To avoid the peanuts becoming soggy after roasting, you should wait for the pan to be hot before adding the peanuts!
- To make the tapioca pearls and potato starch swell faster, you can soak them in warm water at about 60 degrees Celsius.
- To enjoy the rich and fragrant flavor of the peanuts, do not crush them too finely.

How to Choose Fresh, Delicious Bananas
- For this dessert, you can use any type of banana you like. However, to ensure the sweet soup is sweet and fragrant, you should use ripe bananas.
- Preferably, choose bananas that are ripe but uneven, with some green and some yellow, as these are naturally ripened bananas without chemical treatment.
- Naturally ripened bananas that are good for health will have a dark yellow skin with brown or black spots, and when gently squeezed, you can feel the softness of the fruit’s flesh.
- Avoid buying bananas that are bruised or overly large, as they may have been treated with excessive chemicals or growth hormones.

- It’s advisable to soak or boil the tapioca and sweet potato flour beforehand to prevent sourness.
