Bananas (peeled, cut into 2cm thick diagonal slices, 24 slices total)
250g
Red bean paste
150g
Eggs (use only the egg whites)
150g
Fine dry starch (used in parts: 30g to coat bananas, 30g added to egg white batter)
60g
Cooked chicken oil (for frying)
1500g (actually uses 75g)
Granulated sugar
25g
Honey

Instructions
1
Cut bananas
Peel the bananas, cut into 2cm thick diagonal slices for a total of 24 slices, and coat both sides of the banana slices with 25g of fine dry starch.
2
Add filling
Evenly spread the red bean paste filling on 12 banana slices, then press the other 12 banana slices onto the red bean paste, smooth out the edges, and coat with 5g of fine dry starch.
3
Whip egg white batter
Place the egg whites in a soup bowl, use 3 bamboo chopsticks, and whisk vigorously in one direction without stopping until the chopsticks can stand upright in the egg whites. Then add the remaining 30g of fine dry starch, mix evenly, and set aside.

Fry
Heat a wok over high heat, add the cooked chicken oil, and heat to 40% hot. Coat the prepared red bean paste bananas evenly with the egg white batter, and fry them one by one in the oil. If the oil temperature rises, turn off the heat and continuously stir with a ladle.

Remove from wok
Maintain low heat and low temperature during frying, fry for about 4 minutes, remove from the wok, place on a plate, sprinkle evenly with honey and granulated sugar, and serve.
