Detailed Steps for Cooking Fried Plantains
Buy plantains. Plantains are different from bananas. Plantains are larger and more expensive. Choose plantains based on your preference. Green plantains have a purer taste compared to yellow plantains, which have a slightly sour and sweet taste. I prefer the taste of green plantains.
Peel and cut the plantains into pieces.
Quickly fry the plantains in a pan until they turn yellow. They don’t need to be fried for long, just until the surface turns yellow.
Quickly remove the slightly fried plantains and press them into small cakes one by one.
Quickly remove the slightly fried plantains and press them into small cakes using the bottom of a bowl or a kitchen knife.
Then fry the pressed plantain cakes in oil. During the frying process, be careful not to burn them.
Fry until the surface turns golden brown and slightly crispy, then remove from the oil. Sprinkle with salt while hot because green plantains lack flavor and need salt for seasoning. Enjoy the crispy and delicious taste.
