Questions

How do I know when Pisang Goreng is done?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 4: cook until fully coated. Step 5: cook until golden brown and crispy.

Can I make Pisang Goreng gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in Pisang Goreng is 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. Swap the flour for a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend (where it only thickens a sauce, half as much cornstarch also works). Everything else proceeds as written.

How many calories are in Pisang Goreng?

One serving (the recipe makes 4) is about 280 calories, with 3 g protein, 48 g carbohydrate and 10 g fat, plus 3 g fiber and 180 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

How long does Pisang Goreng keep?

Keep Pisang Goreng covered in the refrigerator and eat it within three days. Chilled and set desserts lose their texture in the freezer.

Can I halve or double Pisang Goreng?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Halved, the bananas drops from 4 to 2; doubled, it is 8. Every line in this entry carries its half and double quantity, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
