How did I get this recipe?

The moment I found this recipe is one that will always stay with me. It was a warm summer day, and I was wandering through the bustling streets of Bangkok, taking in all the sights and sounds of this vibrant city. As I wandered, my nose was filled with the enticing smells of street food cooking on every corner.

I couldn't resist stopping at a food stall that was selling fried bananas. The sweet aroma of caramelized sugar and ripe bananas wafted through the air, and I knew I had to try them. I watched as the vendor expertly sliced the bananas, dipped them in a light batter, and fried them until they were golden brown and crispy.

I couldn't believe how delicious they were. The bananas were perfectly sweet and tender on the inside, with a crunchy coating on the outside. I asked the vendor for the recipe, but he just smiled and said it was a family secret that had been passed down for generations.

Determined to recreate these delicious fried bananas at home, I set out on a mission to learn the recipe. I spent hours researching traditional Thai recipes and experimenting in my own kitchen until I finally perfected my own version of Thai Fried Bananas.

The key to making these fried bananas just right is using ripe bananas that are not too soft. I like to use ladyfinger bananas, as they are the perfect size and texture for frying. The batter is made with a mixture of rice flour, coconut milk, and a touch of sugar, which gives the bananas a light and crispy coating when fried.

I like to add a pinch of salt to the batter to balance out the sweetness of the bananas. I also like to sprinkle the fried bananas with a little bit of sesame seeds for an extra crunch and nutty flavor.

To fry the bananas, I heat up a pot of oil until it reaches the perfect temperature. I carefully dip each banana slice into the batter, making sure it is evenly coated, and then gently place it into the hot oil. I fry the bananas until they are golden brown and crispy, then remove them from the oil and drain them on a paper towel.

Once the bananas are fried, I like to serve them hot with a drizzle of sweetened condensed milk and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. The combination of the sweet bananas, crispy batter, and creamy condensed milk is simply irresistible.

I love sharing this recipe with my friends and family, and they always rave about how delicious these Thai Fried Bananas are. It brings me so much joy to be able to recreate a taste of Thailand in my own kitchen, and I will always cherish the memory of that warm summer day in Bangkok when I first discovered this recipe.
