Preparation

Cut each banana into 2 cm widths.  Peel and drop each piece into a saucepan of hot oil.  Cook until they begin to turn brown.  Remove and while hot, squash the flesh flat, between 2 pieces of brown paper.  Then fry one more time.  Drain and sprinkle with salt before serving.

Thin slices of banana can also be double fried for a more regular look.

Almost all Asian groceries will stock plaintain bananas. If unavailable, any variety of green banana should suffice.

How to tell your steak is cooked

Gently bringing together your index finger and thumb, and pressing the mound on your palm below the thumb will feel similar pressing a raw steak; the middle finger and thumb is like medium rare; and onwards to the pinky will feel like a well-done steak.
