Ingredients
- 1/4 Red Bell Pepper, seeded and diced
- 1/2 Carrot, peeled and thinly sliced into half-moons
- 1 Ripe Banana, peeled and sliced diagonally about 1.5cm thick
- 2 Tbsp Cooking Oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by preparing the vegetables. Remove the stem and seeds from the red bell pepper, then dice it into approximately 1.5cm cubes. Peel the carrot and slice it thinly into attractive half-moon shapes. Cutting the vegetables into similar sizes ensures they cook evenly.
Step 2
Now for the star ingredient: the banana. Peel the ripe banana and slice it diagonally into pieces about 1.5cm thick. Avoid slicing it too thinly, as it might break apart during cooking. Maintaining a moderate thickness is key.
Step 3
Time to stir-fry! Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. First, add the sliced carrots and red bell peppers and stir-fry. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the carrots become slightly translucent and the bell peppers soften. This process brings out the natural sweetness of the vegetables.
Step 4
Once the vegetables are partially cooked, add the sliced banana to the pan. Bananas can become mushy if overcooked, so stir-fry them with the vegetables for just about 1-2 minutes. You want the banana to be lightly golden brown and tender, releasing its sweet aroma. It’s best to cook over medium-low heat rather than high heat to achieve this.
Step 5
Your delicious banana and vegetable stir-fry is ready, featuring a wonderful combination of sweet banana and crisp vegetables! Enjoy it immediately while warm to savor the fresh flavors. It’s perfect as a side dish with rice or as a main course, similar to a steak. It’s also an excellent, healthy snack for children!
