Bananas in Coconut Milk
Ingredients (Two serving):
5 almost-ripe Nam Wa bananas
¼ cups coconut cream
1½ cups coconut milk
½ cup sugar
½ cup salt
Health:
Vitamin B6, B12, C, E, K, Folate, Iron, Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc
Preparation: 10 mins
Cooking: 20 mins
Total: 30 mins
Directions:
-
Peel the bananas and slit vertically into halves, then horizontally in more halves. Pour coconut milk into a pot and turn on the heat. Once boiling, lower heat to medium and add bananas.
-
Once bananas are tender, turn off the heat. Do not overcook. Add sugar and salt and keep stirring until well dissolved.
-
Add coconut cream. Allow to cool down to room temperature before serving.
Tips:
-
As an alternative, Nam Wa bananas can be replaced with potato, sweet potato, pumpkin or tapioca. Boil until cooked only, avoid over boiling until mashed.
-
When cooking unripe bananas, boil them in water for 3-5 minutes to get rid of the stickiness. Young fruits normally taste less sweet and therefore will require extra sugar in the coconut milk.
