05.09.2014 - Nongsa, Batam. Whether in Malaysia, Brunei or Indonesia, Pisang Goreng or Fried Banana Fritters has been my all time favourite during breakfast, afternoon break or as snack during anytime of the day.
i still not afraid of consuming fried banana at the street hawkers or wherever it is available during the busy market hours early evening that specially freshly dish up from the hot oil while its still crispy and crunchy! its irresistible. but however, im being very careful now. Because these delicious pisang goreng has no longer safe to eat from street vendors / hawkers.
Few years ago or i can say up to these days i am still hearing many dishonest vendors using drinking straws or plastic oil bottles added into the hot cooking oil to deepfried the bananas in order to keep their pisang goreng stay crispy.
So to eat safe and healthy, the only way is to reduce consuming at the hawkers and cook ourself. But how you want your fried banana stays crispy and crunchy? its simply easy!! let me tell u, u do not need to mix the batter with rice flour, or add plastic to the cooking oil ( like those uneducated psycho vendors ) who feed us plastic. Now there is a thing call "baking soda". I know its chemical too, but this is edible chemical that meant for cooking. The crispiness secret is all in the baking soda my friends!!
Since i love to eat pisang goreng, i always cook fried banana at home, and the more practise i get the better my batter mixing to get the right crispiness for my bananas. Finally I have created my recipe to the right texture and crispiness!! Not saying to blow my own trumpet but i think my pisang goreng is the BEST on earth with that crispiness without using any ready-made mix flour or added any weird stuff in it to get that crispiness.
I do care about your health out there, so i don't mind to share my recipe to you all and i hope u love it! So eat safe and healthy, I can do it myself and so do you.
