Well, instead of steaming, YouTube user Mii Cooking chose to cook this skin dough with Teflon. So, heat non-stick Teflon over low heat to medium. While waiting for the Teflon to heat, stir the mixture so that it doesn't settle.

Next, pour 1-2 ladles of dough onto the Teflon and spread evenly. Then cook until the top is completely dry and turns a dark green color. If so, immediately move it by turning the banana peel directly on a table covered with cloth and plastic.

Choosing sweet and ripe bananas can make the eating experience more enjoyable. Here are some tips for choosing the right banana:

1. Skin color.

Choose bananas whose skin is bright yellow with several brown spots. Yellow color indicates that the banana is ripe, while brown spots indicate that the banana is sweet.

2. Violence.

Touch the banana gently. Choose bananas that apply little pressure and are not too firm. Bananas that are too hard are still not ripe, while those that are too soft may be overripe.

3. Size.

Choose bananas that are medium in size. Bananas that are too large may not be evenly ripe, while those that are too small may be overripe.

4. Aroma.

Ripe bananas usually smell better. If the banana has a strong, sweet aroma, it is a good sign.

5. Skin condition.

Avoid choosing bananas whose skin looks damaged, is too soft, or is too dark in color. This could be a sign that the banana is overripe or even damaged.

6. Bananas in clusters.

Choose bananas that are still in groups or bunches. Bananas that are still in clusters tend to ripen evenly.

7. Pay attention to the ends.

The tip of a ripe banana is usually slightly curved and open.

8. Don't choose anything too green.

Bananas that are still green are not yet ripe and may not have the desired sweetness.

9. Pay attention to the age of the banana.

If you want to eat bananas in the near future, choose ripe ones. However, if you want to store them for a few days, choose ones that are still a little green so they can ripen gradually.
