Just as South and Central American countries have their fried plantains, the Vietnamese have fried bananas, usually sold on the streets by women in front of their houses. The firmer the bananas, the better.
Ingredients:
- 6 bananas
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions:

| 1 | Mix together the flour, sugar, egg, milk, and salt to make a smooth, paste-like batter. |

| 3 | Peel the bananas and slice each one in half lengthwise, then across into chunks about three inches long. |
| 4 | Dip the banana pieces into the batter and shallow fry in hot oil for a few minutes or until golden brown all over. |
