Coco Sugar Fried Saba : Banana Caramel : Banana Cue (dessert / snack)

A Filipino favourite using healthier coconut sugar instead of the traditional way using brown sugar.

Ingredient

Food ration :

1 serving

Saba (Cardava) bananas

1-2 Tbsp

coconut sugar

3-4 Tbsp

Cooking oil

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Saba or Cardava or Cooking bananas are the fat plump ones, greenish to yellow with blackish markings as it ripens. In Manila it is a popular street & market food sold on sticks. I haven’t tried with plantains, not sure if we have those here or if its the same banana...try and let me know? :)

* Step 2

Heat oil in pan. Prepare peeled bananas by slicing them or you can also cook whole like the traditional way in the Manila.

* Step 3

Roll all sides of the banana in the coco sugar and drop in hot oil. Use low heat to prevent burning.

* Step 4

When sugar melts turn it to the other side. Use a spatula or spoon to scoop back the sugar on to the banana if it separates. I turned them twice on each side before removing from the pan. Place on a plate and let it cool.

* Step 5

The coco sugar will harden and become crisp as it cools. Delicious. I placed too much I think (2 Tbsps) so 1 Tbsp should be ok for 2 bananas. :) Enjoy!
