Dessert
Ba Si Xiang Jiao is a popular Chinese dessert in which bananas are served in a sweet caramel sauce. The caramel coating gives the bananas a crunchy outer layer that hardens as it cools, giving the dessert an unusual texture.
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 150 g sugar
- 100 ml water
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Ice water (for serving)
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and halve them lengthwise.
- Heat the sugar in a pan over medium heat until it melts and turns golden brown.
- Carefully add the water to the melted sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved completely and the mixture boils.
- Add the banana halves to the caramel sauce and cook each side for about 2 to 3 minutes, until well coated.
- Stir the sesame oil into the caramel sauce.
- Take the bananas out of the pan and dip them into ice water right away, so the caramel layer hardens.
- Lift the caramelized bananas out of the ice water, drain them and serve immediately.
