Deep-fried Banana with Popiah Skin

 

DEEP-FRIED BANANA AND NUTELLA
WITH POPIAH SKIN

For my version instead of using Japanese Mayonnaise from mum's description, I have tested it with other fillings such as Nutella and Peanut Butter. Personally I find those with Nutella fillings are just simply awesome which you won't want to stop with just 1 roll. I also have a similar recipe using "slice bread" instead of popiah wrapper which you might want to read up more HERE.

(Make: 4 rolls | Preparation: 5 minutes | Cooking: 5 minutes)

Ingredients:
4 Sheets Fresh Popiah Wrapper
2 Ripe Banana, half
Some Nutella, Peanut Butter or Japanese Mayonnaise

Method:-

1. Place the popiah wrapper on a clean plate and position half of the banana on the lower 1/4 of the wrapper.

2. Spread some Nutella, Peanut Butter or Japanese Mayonnaise sauce on the banana (refer to the photo above).

3. Fold left and right corners of wrapper over filling, overlapping slightly (wrapper will resemble an open envelope).

4. Next dab top corner with some flour solution (1 tablespoon water + 1 teaspoon flour) then roll up wrapper away from you into a long thin roll, making sure ends stay tucked inside.

5. Repeat the steps with the remaining ingredients and deep-fry in hot oil until golden brown.

6. Remove, drain well and serve hot.

Lastly, if you are prefer something more "dim sum" alike, perhaps you can tried using red bean paste with banana, wrapped it and deep-fried. I am sure it taste as good as those with Nutella too!
