Servings 14 Fried Bananas

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Bunch of Baby Bananas ( Your choice of Apple Bananas Lady Finger Bananas, Manzano, Saba or Plantains )
  • 2 Cups Dark Brown Sugar
  • 2 Cups Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Package Frozen Shredded Coconuts - Defrosted 7 oz
  • 1 Package TYJ Spring Roll Pastry Wrappers Approximately 5" inches - there are 50 sheets in a package but you will only need 14 to 16 wrappers

Instructions
 

  • Cut your baby banana in half lengthwise .
  • Then place one of the halves on a sheet of parchment paper.
  • Fold the parchment paper over and slightly flatten the banana with the backside of a knife.
  • You can also just use your palm to press down on the banana as well.
  • Pour the brown sugar into a container or dish . Roll the banana around in the brown sugar. Set aside.
  • Remove one spring roll wrapper from the package at a time and place it on a cutting board. Keep the rest in a zip loc bag or place a damp towel on top of the stack to prevent them from drying out.
  • Place a small handful of the shredded coconuts onto the spring roll wrapper.
  • Then place the coated banana onto the bed of shredded coconuts. Next place another small handful of the shredded coconuts on top of the banana.
  • Now fold the sides of the spring roll wrappers in toward the center.
  • Fold the bottom up and it should look like an envelope.
  • Wet the top section of the spring roll wrapper with water to seal it.
  • Then roll it all the way toward the top section to complete the roll.
  • In a wok add the cooking oil and turn the heat on to Medium. Check to see if the oil is ready by placing a wooden chopstick into the oil. If bubble forms around the chopstick then the oil is ready.
  • Once the oil is hot place the wrapped bananas into the oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until it is golden brown.
  • Then turn the wrapped bananas over and fry for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown as well.
  • Remove from the oil and place on a sheet of parchment paper to drain. Do not place on a plate lined with paper towels because the fried bananas will stick to them.
  • You can serve them plain or top with some powdered sugar.
  • They can also be served with a side of vanilla ice cream !
