Directions

  1. Mix sugar and water in a wok or large skillet and heat until the syrup starts to boil. Lower heat and cook syrup until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.

  2. Place bananas gently into the syrup and cook until they are shiny and orange in color, about 5 minutes. Flip the bananas to cook on the other side, about 5 minutes. Transfer bananas and syrup to a serving dish.

  3. Mix coconut cream and salt in a small saucepan over low heat, simmer until heated through, about 10 minutes. Drizzle coconut cream mixture over bananas to serve.

Recipe Note

Kai bananas are nice and firm for cooking in a syrup. These bananas are slightly smaller than most bananas, about the size of your palm. In this recipe, the bananas are gently cooked in a sugar syrup and topped with a coconut cream.
