Ingredients:
- 1 bunch of Sứ bananas
- 30g scallions
- 60ml cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Step 1: Choose ripe but not overripe Sứ bananas. The bananas should be firm and fresh. Peel off the skins and sun-dry the bananas for 30-40 minutes to dry the sap, which helps them cook better and become delicious.
- Step 2: Grill the bananas using an electric grill. Arrange the bananas on the grill, turning them frequently to ensure even cooking. If the temperature is too high, turn off the grill, then restart it later. The bananas are ready when the skin turns golden, the surface is dry, and the flesh becomes soft and sweet.
- Step 3: Prepare the scallion oil. Chop the scallions and place them in a bowl. Add sugar, salt, and pour hot oil over the mixture, stirring well. Adjust the seasoning to make it saltier than sweet.
- Step 4: Slice the grilled bananas into chunks or slit them lengthwise, then fill them with the scallion oil. Serve hot.

Instructions:
- Step 1: Prepare the bananas. Peel and slice the Siam bananas into 3mm thick rounds. Place the sliced bananas in a container, sprinkle with 110g of sugar, and refrigerate overnight to allow the bananas to absorb the sugar.
- Step 2: Prepare the cake mix. After the bananas have marinated overnight, remove them from the fridge and drain the excess sugar syrup. In a large bowl, mix together fresh milk, crumbled sandwich bread, whipping cream, and the sugar syrup. Sift the flour into the mixture and stir until it becomes a smooth, thick batter.

13. Steamed Banana Cake
Steamed Banana Cake with Coconut Milk combines the soft, fragrant taste of bananas with the rich flavor of coconut milk for a truly delicious treat.
Ingredients and Tools for Making Steamed Banana Cake
- 10 ripe bananas.
- 1 kg of shredded coconut.
- 250 grams of tapioca flour.
- 100 grams of rice flour (can be replaced with wheat flour).
- Roasted sesame seeds.
- 1 vanilla essence.
- Salt, sugar, and more.
Tools: Rice cooker, bowls, spoons, etc.
How to Make Steamed Banana Cake with Coconut Milk
- Step 1: Prepare the ingredients: Peel the bananas, slice them into thin rounds (about 1 cm), and place them in a bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of sugar and mix well. Let it sit for 20 minutes to allow the sugar to absorb into the bananas. For the coconut milk, mix the shredded coconut with 400 ml of warm water to extract the juice.
- Step 2: Make the dough for the cake: In a bowl, combine tapioca flour, rice flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, sugar, and vanilla essence. Add 3 cups of water to the mixture and stir well to dissolve everything. Then, gently mix in the soaked bananas.
- Step 3: Steam the cake using a rice cooker: Coat the bottom of the rice cooker with a thin layer of oil to prevent the cake from sticking. Pour the banana mixture into the rice cooker, ensuring it's only about 4-5 cm thick so it cooks evenly. Set the rice cooker to cook for 10 minutes, then switch to the keep-warm mode for 2 minutes. Repeat this process for about 3 cycles, until the cake is cooked. Check for doneness by poking with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. Otherwise, continue steaming.
- Step 4: Make the coconut milk sauce: Combine the extracted coconut milk with sugar, 2 tablespoons of tapioca flour, and 1 cup of water. Heat this mixture on the stove until it thickens. The steamed banana cake with coconut milk will have a sweet, creamy flavor that's hard to resist. For added flavor, sprinkle some roasted sesame seeds and drizzle more coconut milk on top before serving.
