Candied Banana Fritters

== Ingredients ==
* 7 tablespoons granulated sugar
* 2 tablespoons cold water
* 1 egg
* ¼ cup cornstarch
* ¾ cup all-purpose flour, divided
* ⅓ cup cold water (or enough water to make a thin batter)
* 5 bananas
* 6 cups oil for deep-frying (or less if desired)
* 2 – 3 tablespoons sesame seeds, as needed
== Directions ==
# Heat wok and add oil for deep-frying.
# Mix together the sugar and water.
# Set aside.
# Beat the egg in a bowl.
# Stir in the cornstarch, ½ cup flour, and up to ⅓ cup water, and blend well.
# Cut each banana on the diagonal into 1½-inch thick slices (4 or 5 slices per banana).
# Lightly dust each banana piece with a bit of the remaining ¼ cup of flour.
# Coat each piece in the flour batter using your fingers.
# Drop the bananas into the hot oil and deep-fry until they are golden brown, turning once.
# Remove and drain on paper towels.
# Heat frying pan and add 1 tablespoon of oil.
# Give the sugar and water mixture a quick re-stir and add to the frying pan.
# Stir the mixture on low heat until the sugar dissolves and turns light brown.
# Turn off the heat and add the bananas, turning to coat them in the sugar.
# Finish off by plunging immediately into ice cold water to harden the sugar.
# Repeat with all the bananas.
# Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
