ingredients
Beat The Heat Treat
Vietnamese Coffee
directions
Puree the flesh of three mangoes with the lime juice smooth. Push through a sieve if necessary.
Peel bananas and cut in half lengthwise.
Combine egg, honey and rice flour, mix until smooth.
Dip bananas into egg mixture and coat well. Roll in shredded coconut.
Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry bananas for about 10 minutes, turning once. Drain on paper towels.
Place the fried bananas on a plate, drizzle with mango puree and sprinkle with black sesame seeds. Garnish with a slice of star fruit, a slice of dragon fruit, a slice of mango, and a sprig of Thai mint.
Serve each serving with a glass of Vietnamese coffee.
Spoon approximately 2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 45 ml) of ground coffee into Vietnamese coffee filter and using the filter insert tamp the coffee down slightly. The screw in the centre of the filter should sit slightly proud of the packed coffee.
Place the filter insert into the filter and tighten it down on the coffee grounds.
Pour approximately 1/3 to 1/2 inch (.85 to 1.2 cm) of condensed milk into the bottom of the coffee glass and place the filter onto of the glass.
Bring water to the boil and remove from heat for a short time before pouring into the filter. The hot water should be poured into the filter, first just a bit to wet the grounds, and then slowing pour water to fill the filter. Adjust the filter insert so that the coffee only drips a few drops every few seconds. This can be done by tightening or loosening the filter insert.
The coffee will take 7 to 10 minutes to drip.
Remove filter and stir coffee and condensed milk until thoroughly mixed.
Top with vanilla ice cream.
