Ingredients
- 8 baby bananas (gluay kai), at the perfect eating ripeness (see note)
- 3/4 cup coconut milk
- 3/4 cup water
- 3 tbsp sugar (you can add less or more to your liking)
- 1/4 + 1/8 tsp salt
- 5 inches pandan leaf
Instructions
- 1
Combine coconut milk, water, sugar, salt, and pandan leaf in a small pot and stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the bananas, and there should be just enough liquid to barely cover the bananas. If there doesn't seem to be enough liquid, you can add a bit more of both coconut milk and water.

Turn the heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Once it reaches a rapid simmer, turn the heat down and let it simmer gently for 5 minutes until the bananas are soft.

Remove from heat, cover, and let the bananas sit in the coconut milk for at least another 10 minutes or until ready to serve; the bananas will continue to cook and the flavours will mingle and marry further.
