Banana Fritters

½ cup flour

1 egg, beaten

2 tablespoons sesame oil

3 tablespoons water

5 bananas, cut into 1¼-inch pieces

Flour for dusting

4 cups oil for deep frying

1. Stir the flour into the egg. Add the sesame oil and water and stir until a smooth batter is formed, adding a bit more water if necessary.
2. Lightly dust the banana pieces with the flour. Dip the banana pieces into the batter and cover, using your fingers.
3. Heat the oil to 350°F. Carefully slide the banana pieces into the hot oil, a few pieces at a time, and briefly deep-fry until they are golden. Remove and drain on paper towels.
