Kuay Namuan

Peel the ripe bananas and slice them diagonally into ½-inch thick pieces, creating oval shapes.

Pour the thick coconut milk into a large saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Add the sugar to the simmering coconut milk and stir until fully dissolved.

Gently add the banana slices to the hot coconut milk, stirring carefully to coat them evenly without breaking them apart.

Simmer the bananas in the coconut milk for 8-10 minutes, stirring very gently occasionally, until the bananas are tender and the coconut milk has thickened slightly around them.

Transfer the kuay namuan to serving bowls while still warm, ensuring each bowl receives banana slices and a generous amount of the coconut milk syrup.
