Banana Cue
Deep-fried caramelized saba bananas on a stick. A classic Filipino street food snack that is naturally dairy-free.
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Saba Bananas
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 cup Vegetable Oil
- 4 pieces Bamboo Skewers
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Peel the 8 pieces of Saba Bananas. Cut each banana in half crosswise, so you have 16 pieces total.
- 2Thread two banana halves onto each of the 4 Bamboo Skewers. You should have 4 skewers with 4 banana halves each.
- 3Pour the 1 cup of Vegetable Oil into a large skillet. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 175°C.
- 4Carefully place the 4 skewers of bananas into the hot 1 cup of Vegetable Oil. Fry for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bananas are golden brown on all sides.
- 5Sprinkle the 1/2 cup of Brown Sugar evenly over the frying bananas. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sugar to melt and caramelize, coating the bananas. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- 6Using tongs, carefully remove the skewers from the skillet. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil for 1-2 minutes.
- 7Serve the Banana Cue immediately while the caramel is still warm and gooey.
