Ingredients
- 4 pieces saging saba (banana)
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 250 milliliters coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by peeling the saging saba bananas and slicing each banana lengthwise into four even pieces.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and water to create a thick syrup-like consistency. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Step 3
In a large frying pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Use enough oil to submerge half of the banana slices.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, carefully dip each banana slice into the sugar syrup, ensuring it is well-coated.
Step 5
Gently place the coated banana slices into the hot oil. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and caramelized.
Step 6
Remove the fried bananas from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Serve the fried saging saba hot, as a delightful snack or dessert.
