Carefully add the bananas to the hot oil, then sprinkle the brown sugar over the bananas. Fry for 2 minutes without stirring to allow the sugar to caramelize. Carefully turn bananas with tongs or a wok spatula to coat with the caramelized sugar. Continue frying, turning frequently, until the bananas are deep golden brown in color, 3–5 minutes.
