Ginanggang,guinanggang, orginang-gang (Cebuano pronunciation:[ginaŋ'gaŋ]) is asnack food of grilledskewered bananas brushed withmargarine and sprinkled with sugar. It originates from the island ofMindanao in thePhilippines.[1] It literally means "grilled" inCebuano.[2]
Ginanggang is made from a type of banana in the Philippines calledsaba (a cooking banana also known as the Cardaba banana). The banana is peeled, skewered and then grilled over charcoals. When the outer surface is lightly charred, it is then taken off the grill, brushed withmargarine, and sprinkled with sugar. It differs frombanana cue in that riper saba bananas are preferred; the banana is actually grilled on the stick instead of being fried and skewered later, and the sugar used is white table sugar and is not caramelized (being applied after cooking).[3][4]
A "Ginanggang Festival" is celebrated in honor ofSan Isidro Labrador every 2nd Sunday of May inBaranggay Poblacion,Tubod, Lanao del Norte.[5][6]
