1. Banana katsu
Maybe you’ve had chicken katsu or pork katsu, but have you had banana katsu? This creative dessert is inspired by the popular fried Japanese comfort food — but with a sweet twist! To make it, simply dip banana pieces in plain flour, eggs and breadcrumbs. Then, shallow fry the bananas in oil for three minutes, flipping once in between. When the bananas are golden brown, dust them with powdered sugar and serve over ice cream.
