Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup rice flour, 1/4 cup tapioca starch, and 2 tablespoons sugar until combined.
2. 2Gradually whisk in the 1/2 cup water until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.
3. 3Pour the 1 cup vegetable oil into a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or pot. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 175°C.
4. 4Peel the 4 medium ripe bananas and slice them into 1.27 cm thick rounds.
5. 5Dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated on all sides.
6. 6Carefully place the battered banana slices into the hot 1 cup vegetable oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the batter is golden brown and crispy.
7. 7Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried bananas from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
8. 8Serve the Chuối Chiên immediately while they are hot and crispy.
