Banana Cue / Sugar Fried Bananas


Sugar fried bananas on bamboo skewers, also know as banana cue.. among filipinos, is a popular snack food in philippines. It's widely sold on the streets in food carts or in small food stalls... Banana cue is simply deep fried ripe nandram bananas coated with caramelized sugar while it's cooking. It's not marinated and skewered as it's being cooked, and definitely not grilled over hot charcoals...


The fried banana are only placed on bamboo skewres afterwards for ease of eating.. It is being stick and also due to it's caramel color when done, It got its name "banana cue". It is easy to make and it is delicious. These bananas absorb sweet, soft, turn soggy when it fried with sugar... I pefer mine to be much riper, juicier, and sweeter with extra coating of caramel...



I cut these bananas into smaller pieces prior to frying to make it easier for my children to eat, after making it just serve it on small plates with fork... I hope you try this recipe and enjoy it as well....
