Today is Beth Kanter’s Birthday! Beth is a passionate, inspirational leader in nonprofit tech. Her blog inspires thousands of people working in nonprofits to use technology in a way that helps them achieve their missions.
Beth turns 53 this year, and she has a very special birthday wish: Raise funds to send Cambodian children to school.
In celebration of Beth’s birthday and in honor of her special birthday wish, I prepared a Khmer Dessert.
Fried Banana Nuggets (Num Chet Chien)
These banana nuggets were amazing enough on their own. But they’re even better when garnished with coconut ice cream, a tiny dollop of pineapple preserves, and a drizzling of caramel sauce. Mmmm.
Fried Banana Nuggets (Num Chet Chien)
- 2 Large Bananas
- 2 Teaspoons of Sugar
- 1/2 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
- 12 Sheets small-size Spring Roll Shells
- 1 Cup cooking oil for deep-frying
Cut bananas in half lengthwise. Cut each banana into 12 pieces. In a small bowl, mix the bananas with sugar and vanilla. Cut the spring roll shells in half. Wrap each banana piece in a spring roll shell.
Heat the oil in a small saucepan. When oil is hot, drop in the banana pieces. Fry until golden brown. Remove pieces and drain them on a paper towel.
Serve with coconut ice cream, caramel sauce and dollop of pineapple preserves.
Enjoy!
And a very happy birthday to Beth Kanter!!!
