      Title: Toffee Apples And Bananas
 Categories: Chinese, Fruits, Desserts
      Yield: 4 servings

           - Ken Hom, Guest Chef               1    Lge egg
           - MM:MK VMXV03A                     1 ts Sesame oil
      2    Lge firm apples                 1 1/3 c  Oil, preferably peanut
      2    Firm bananas                        2 ts Sesame oil
    1/4 c  All-purpose flour                 3/4 c  Granulated sugar
    1/4 c  Cornstarch                          2 tb White sesame seeds, toasted

  This dish requires some dexterity, which will come with experience. Make it
  for yourself a few times before you attempt it for guests. PEEL AND CORE
  THE APPLES and cut each into 8 large wedges. Peel the bananas and cut them
  into 1 1/2-inch chunks. Combine the flour, cornstarch, egg and 1 teaspoon
  of sesame oil in a small bowl. Mix them well to form a smooth, very thick
  batter. Combine the peanut oil and 2 teaspoons of sesame oil in a deep fat
  fryer or wok and heat the mixture until it is moderately hot. Put the fruit
  into the batter mixture. Then lift out several pieces of fruit at a time,
  using a slotted spoon, and drain off any excess batter. Deep-fry for about
  2 minutes, until they are golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on
  paper towels. Repeat the process until you have deep-fried all the fruit.
  Just before serving, prepare a bowl of ice water filled with ice cubes.
  Reheat the oil over moderate heat and deep-fry the fruit a second time for
  about 2 minutes. Drain again on paper towels. Put the sugar, sesame seeds
  and 2 tablespoons of oil from the deep-frying oil into a pot. Heat the
  mixture until the sugar melts and begins to caramelize. (Watch the heat to
  prevent it from burning.) When the caramel is light brown, add the fruit
  sections. Stir them gently in the caramel syrup to coat them. Then take
  them out and put them into the ice water to harden. Do a few at a time to
  prevent them from sticking together. Remove them from the water and place
  on a serving platter. Serve at once. ** 134. TWICOKPR.TXT Twice Cooked Pork
