A very common dessert in Hanoi. You can serve it hot, cold, or room temp. I personally prefer it hot in winter (yes it does get cold in Hanoi in winter, very actually!) Ingredients:
2 cups water |
1/2 cup sugar (less, if the bananas are very ripe) |
1 (14 ounce) can light coconut milk |
1/4 cup minute tapioca |
2 large ripe bananas, cut into 1/2 inch pieces |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 -2 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted (optional) |
Directions:
1. Bring water and coconut milk to boil in a medium saucepan.
2. Add sugar, salt, tapioca.
3. Reduce heat to medium low, let it cook for about 30 minutes, stir frequently.
4. Stir in bananas, remove from heat and let stand for 15 minutes.
5. Note: after you add the bananas, don't stir too much, it'll break up the fruit.
6. Serve hot, or chill for 3-4 hours.
7. Cook time not incl.
8. chill time.
