Top Tip for making Phil Vickery's Apple Bananas with Toffee Sauce

Chef’s secrets 1) Wing Yip Shaohsing-style Chinese Cooking Wine is a dark brown plum wine. There isn’t really any substitute – you’ll find it at Waitrose. 2) Apple bananas are about half the size of normal bananas and taste faintly of their namesake. They are slightly firmer than the usual variety, and don’t fall apart quite so easily when cooked. 3) Store your bananas in a paper bag at room temperature – they turn black in the fridge. 4) Do use a wok, if you have one, for this pudding: because it is deep, the bananas sit in the sauce and absorb it.
