Ingredients
- 4 bananas
- 1 egg (slightly beaten)
- 2 c oil for deep-frying
- 5/8 c sugar
- 6 tbsp water (cold)
- 3/8 c water
- 5 tbsp flour
- 4 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp oil
- 1/4 tsp vinegar
Cut each banana into 5 long diagonal pieces after peeling. Sprinkle some flour on bananas until well coated. Blend batter ingredients well and toss bananas in batter to coat. Heat oil and place batter-coated bananas in oil, frying until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towel. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small saucepan; add sugar and water. Stir-fry over low heat until it is like syrup and when poured makes a thread. Add the bananas and mix carefully. Serve immediately. (The serving plate should be brushed with some oil.) Note: To make coating extra crisp, serve with a container of cold water. Dip each section briefly into cold water just before eating.
