3 servings
15 minutes
Chinese-style battered bananas are a refined dish infused with the spirit of Eastern cuisine. This recipe reflects the Chinese tradition of combining simple ingredients with delicate textures. The light and airy batter, thanks to sparkling water, envelops the tender banana flesh, creating a crispy golden crust. The aroma of peanut oil fills the kitchen with warm, rich notes. Finally, a soft cloud of powdered sugar adds sweet sophistication to the dessert. In China, such dishes are popular in street food and restaurants – they are enjoyed hot, savoring the contrast between the crunchy shell and soft core. Perfect as a dessert or an original snack with tea, awakening sweet memories of Eastern travels.
