Banana Cue

A popular filipino mid afternoon food miryenda. Deep fried Saba bananas coated in caramelised brown sugar.

Ingredients:

15 pieces of ripe banana (saba type)
bamboo bbq sticks
half a kilo of brown sugar
half a liter of cooking oil

How to Cook:

• Peel your bananas. Heat your deep frying pan with half a liter of oil. Once the oil becomes very very hot, put gently all your bananas (it depends on the size of your frying pan).
•  Cook your bananas by mixing them constantly, after about three to five minutes add your brown sugar. It will melt and caramelize. Continue mixing gently the caramel and the bananas. 
•  If you wish a caramel well melted on your bananas, you can continue cooking this for about five more minutes. Or should you prefer a crunchy sugar coating on your bananas, you should immediately cut the fire. 
•  Take them off one by one and let the oil drip. Skew them on your bamboo sticks, approximately 3 bananas per stick.
