The Taste of Home in Banana Rolls with Peanuts
1. Why Are Banana Rolls with Peanuts So Popular?
Đồng Tháp banana rolls with peanuts—also known locally as banana rolls with peanuts—are a modern adaptation of traditional banana preserves. The addition of a crispy outer glutinous rice cracker layer makes the product more convenient and less heavy, appealing to consumers of all ages. As a result, it is commonly featured during holidays, festivals, and family celebrations.
The product is not overly sweet, as it relies on the natural sweetness of ripe bananas while limiting refined sugar. The banana preserve mixture may include additional ingredients depending on the maker’s preference. At Tư Bông, we use sesame seeds, cashews, or peanuts to add a distinctive nutty flavor to each banana roll with peanuts.
2. Ingredients for Banana Rolls with Peanuts

All ingredients, including peanuts, are carefully selected.
As one of Tư Bông’s earliest traditional products, banana rolls with peanuts are made primarily from three main ingredients: bananas, glutinous rice crackers, and peanuts. To achieve the characteristic flavor associated with the Mekong Delta region, additional simple and familiar seasonings are also used. Proper ingredient proportions are essential to ensure consistent quality. The standard formulation includes:
-
1 kg dried sliced ripe bananas
-
0.4 kg sugar
-
0.2 kg peeled and finely sliced ginger
-
0.4 kg roasted peanuts, fully peeled
-
0.1 kg roasted white sesame seeds
-
Grilled glutinous rice crackers
When produced in larger quantities, following these proportions ensures a balanced flavor—moderate sweetness combined with the light, aromatic nuttiness of roasted peanuts.

Maintaining the correct ingredient ratios ensures that this Mekong Delta specialty retains its distinctive taste. The production process remains consistent regardless of batch size.
Preparation and pre-processing include:
-
Glutinous rice crackers are grilled over a wood fire, with careful control of heat and continuous turning to achieve an even golden color and proper expansion. The crackers are then rested until they reach a pliable texture suitable for rolling.
-
Ripe bananas are peeled, pressed, sun-dried, and cut into thin strips.
-
Ginger is peeled and finely sliced to blend evenly into the banana mixture.
-
Peanuts are roasted over medium heat, cooled, and fully peeled.
-
Coconut milk is extracted and used in appropriate amounts for cooking the banana preserve.
Cooking and rolling:
All ingredients except peanuts are combined in a large pan and cooked while stirring continuously for approximately 30 minutes until the mixture thickens. Peanuts are then added and mixed evenly. The banana preserve is spread evenly over the softened rice cracker to a thickness of about 0.5 cm, then carefully rolled to ensure firmness and cohesion. The roll is sliced into portions to complete the process.
4. Key Considerations During Preparation

Producing consistently high-quality banana rolls with peanuts requires experience and attention to detail. Precise ingredient measurement is essential to achieve balanced flavor. When adjusting batch size, proportions should be carefully maintained.
Another important step is spreading and rolling the banana preserve. The mixture should be warm enough to roll easily, but not too hot or too cool, ensuring proper adhesion and a balanced texture—crispy on the outside and soft inside.
5. Packaging and Storage

Proper packaging is essential for product quality and shelf life.
After cooling completely, the banana rolls with peanuts are packed in sealed plastic containers before distribution. Products are stored in cool, dry areas away from direct sunlight to preserve appearance and quality.
Alternatively, each slice may be individually wrapped and stored in larger sealed bags or glass jars to limit air exposure. This method helps maintain a crisp exterior and soft interior.
