5 bananas
1 tablespoon oil
7 tablespoons sugar
1-2 teaspoons sesame seeds or black sesame seeds * flour Batter
1 egg
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup flour
6 tablespoons cold water (or enough to make a thin batter)
6 cups oil for deep-frying
Mix together the sugar and water. Set aside.
Beat the egg in a bowl. Add the cornstarch, flour, and water, and blend well.
Cut a banana on the diagonal into 5 pieces. Sprinkle some added flour onto it and coat the pieces in the flour batter using your fingers. Repeat for each banana.
Heat deep fryer and add oil for deep-frying. When oil is hot, drop the bananas into the hot oil and add a few pieces at a time, turning them once, until they are golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Heat frying pan and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Give the sugar and water mixture a quick re-stir and add to the frying pan. Stir the mixture on low heat until the sugar dissolves and turns into a syrup. Turn off the heat and add the bananas. Mix carefully and serve immediately. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the bananas just before serving.
