Ingredients
- 3 3-ounce packages ramen noodles, seasoning packets discarded
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing

- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 14-ounce can coconut milk

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the noodles in a bowl, cover with hot tap water and soak, flipping once, for 10 minutes; the noodles should pull apart easily. Drain well; toss with the melted butter.
Whisk the eggs, sugar, coconut milk, sour cream, almond extract, cardamom, anise seed and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Stir in the noodles, raisins and ginger until combined.
Butter an 8-inch square baking dish; spread out the bananas in a layer, then pour the noodle mixture on top. Sprinkle with coconut and almonds. Bake until golden brown and set, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Let cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.

I consider it to be excellent. I am used to all kinds of noodle bakes, with apples, farmers cheese, tofu and berries, etc. This one is very unique and I loved it! I may cut sugar next time as I don't need it to be that sweet, but overall, if my daughter likes it--I will be making it over and over again. Thanks for the recipe! This is one of those that I disregarded poor ratings after reading the ingredients and I was so right. Happy that I tried it!

I've been wanting to try this recipe ever since it premiered a few years ago. Tonight I finally got to try it & I found it quite delicious. Warm & fresh from the oven, there were several complimentary flavors & textures. I love how the flavors play with each other. It's a sweet dish, but not in an overwhelming way. My favorite part was the banana slices which toasted to the side of the dish.

The flavors did not mesh. No one in my family could get passed one bite. I tried to give away for others to try (without telling them we hated it and they too said they had to throw it out! Awful.
