NUM CHET CHIEN (CAMBODIAN BANANA NUGGETS)

Steps:

• Cut each spring roll wrapper in half.
• Brush the piece of wrapper with water to soften it, place a piece of banana at one end and roll it up just like you were rolling a spring roll - don't worry about making it too neat.
• Continue with all the rest of the banana pieces and wrappers.
• Heat a lot of oil in a wok, pan or deep fryer.
• Take a small square of the wrappers or a cube of bread to test if the oil is hot enough - if the oil fizzles around it and it crisps up quickly then the oil is hot enough.
• Deep fry the wrapped bananas in the hot oil for about 4-5 minutes or until they're browned slightly. Remove and drain on paper towel.
• Roll them in the icing sugar and eat them immediately while they're nice and hot.
