Pisang Goreng Gula Bakar

Pisang Goreng Gula Bakar, caramelized plantain. The plantain, also known as the cooking banana, is a starchy fruit with a neutral flavour. Therefore it is often used in a staple diet. Cooked banana can be used to replace your daily potatoes, rice or dough products in your diet. But this recipe is for a cooked banana dessert. I started making this not too long ago for my children and they just love it. I just wished I thought of it sooner. It's so simple, yet delicious and definitely healthier than all kinds of other desserts. You can use any type of plantain cooking banana for this recipe, green, yellow, red or black ones. All green, yellow and red cooking bananas turn black when they ripen, that's when they are just right. You can choose to use a ripe cooking banana for a softer end result or a less ripe one for something with a bit more bite to it. The only thing is, a less ripe cooking banana is harder to peel and will give you a bit more work. This recipe is so easy to make and delicious, you will probably end up making it more than a few times, so please try it out with ripe and less ripe cooking bananas to see which you like better.

Directions

1. Use the tip of a sharp knife to carve along the length of the plantain's skin.

2. Do this 4 times along the width of the plantain, with equal spacing between each cut.

3. If you picked a ripe black plantain, removing the peel will be easy. If you didn't, removing the peel can be tricky. Don't peel over the length of the banana, but width instead.

4. Cut the plantain into slices of about half a centimeter thick.

5. Heat a pan over medium fire and pour the oil onto it.

6. Bake the slices of plantain for about 2 minutes each side, jiggling the pan from time to time to prevent the slices from sticking to the pan.

7. Sprinkle 1,5 table spoon sugar over the slices, turn them around and bake them for 1 more minute.

8. Repeat the same for the other side.

Recipe Note

No kids? Add som rum at the end and cook it for a little longer to give the flavour a little kick. Experiment with different types of sugar, gula djawa for example or palm sugar. Cut diagonally lengthwise for longer slices.
