Afternoon Snack 🤤
*I remembered when I was in grade school. I always waiting for the bell rings, it is the time for “meryenda” (snack). In front of our school, there are many vendors selling any kind of “Kakanin” (Native Delicacies). I always choose banana cue not only it is delicious but also cheap. The perfect match for this is to have some “samalamig” (a cold sweet drink made of water, vanilla extract, cube gelatin or sago) It is so delicious.
•Banana Cue is one of the most loved street food in the Philippines. “Saba” banana is only key element of this dish. It is a fruit usually grows in a tropical climate such as the Philippines. It is mostly used for culinary purposes because of its sweet and delicious.
•Banana Cue is made of fried banana on bamboo skewers and the most consumed as a mid-afternoon snack. People can’t resist this because aside from being delicious it is also nutritious.
*Instructions:
1.In a large wok at high flame heat cooking oil, when hot, drop the bananas and fry for about 2 minutes or until they start to slightly brown.
2.Sprinkle the brown sugar and let it stand without stirring.
3.When the sugar starts to caramelize, start stirring the bananas to have it coated with caramelized sugar.
4.Continue frying, stirring several times to have the bananas fully coated with caramelized sugar. Turn the heat off once the bananas are cook through, do not overcook.
5.Drain in Fry Skimmer Strainer or Colander or deep bowl with paper towel to remove excess oil.
