Method
- 1 Choose bananas that are just ripe, peel them, and cut them into diagonal slices about 3 cm thick.
- 2 Soak the bananas in a bowl of diluted salt water for 5 minutes to prevent them from browning and reduce their bitterness.
- 3 Simmer coconut milk with pandan leaves tied together over low heat for 3 minutes to release the aroma.
- 4 Add sugar and salt and stir until dissolved, then add the bananas and simmer for 6 minutes until they are soft but not mushy.
- 5 Remove the pandan leaves, ladle the soup into bowls, and serve while warm.
