Cooking Instructions

In a large bowl combine Rice Flour (1/2 cup) , Corn Starch (4 Tbsp) , Baking Powder (1 tsp) , Sugar (1 tsp) , and Salt (1/2 tsp) .

Slowly drizzle the Water (1/2 cup) into the dry ingredients, about 1 Tbsp at a time, while whisking until you get the consistency of pancake batter.

Heat Cooking Oil (as needed) in a wok or frying pan to approximately 325 degrees F (160 degrees C).

Coat the Bananas (6) in the batter. When the oil is ready, carefully place the bananas in the oil and fry them in small batches till golden brown.

Remove the bananas from the wok with a spider skimmer. Place on paper towels to absorb the excess oil, or on a cooling rack.

Serve while still warm as a dessert alongside vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup or with a cup of Teh Tarik, coffee, or Milo.

Author's Notes

You can use any kind of banana as long as they are sweet and slightly firm. If they are long, cut them in half.

Rice flour gives the Pisang Goreng a fluffy and crispy texture. Regular wheat flour will give them a deeper crunch, or use a combination of the two flours (equal parts).
