Banana Chips (Kerepek Pisang)

I asked my hubby to chop the fruiting banana tree before the bananas get riped. We just chopped one tree not long ago & two more trees are currently fruiting. Oh.... we had enough bananas so I thought this time I'm going to turn the young bananas into chips so that  I don't have to end up with banana kuih everyday again if it ripes.

It took me whole morning slicing & frying the bananas but it worths the effort as it is sooo crispy & tasty. I adjusted the level of salt to my taste (don'tlike it salty) & it just perfect! The whole bunch of bananas produces a huge tupperware of chips:

 Here is simple way to make banana chips:

INGREDIENTS:
Young Bananas
Salt
A lot of oil for deep frying

METHOD:
1. Peel the bananas & soaked in salty water just for a while.
Drain in a colander.

2. Heat up a lot of oil in a big wok.
Slice bananas directly into the hot oil.
Fry until crispy (do not brown).

3. Cool & keep in an airtight container.

On request of TC Leow, here is the picture of the slicer that I used:
