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.
