- Salt
- White pepper
- Chicken fat or other cooking oil
practice:

- Use a kitchen knife or planer to cut the green banana into thin slices, either round or diagonally. The thinner the banana, the crispier it will be after frying.
- After the oil is hot, place the green banana slices one by one into the oil pan, stir and turn them over with chopsticks, fry over medium heat until they turn slightly yellow, then return to the pan over high heat until they turn darker in color. Drain quickly or place on absorbent paper to remove the oil.

- If you like it sweet, you can use powdered sugar instead.
