Fried plantain is very good. Easy to cook and I can fry it early in the morning before I go to work. Your fried plantain method looks good. I thought you coat it with flour but you didn't right?
I've always wondered how you eat this gigantic size bananas. When I first came to Canada, I was so thrilled to see this plantain, thinking you can eat it just like any bananas,(love bananas), I bought some very ripe ones, can you imagine the look and disappointment on my face when I took a big bite? Tasted so yucky..later learned you have to cook this plantain before eating. Will try your recipe for sure....:-)
Wow, they have fried plaintains in take-out Chinese restaurants over there!?
Hi, I love plantains! We have a restaurant here that make sweet plantain or savory ones with garlic. They taste yummy! Do we use unripened plantains?
Thanks for the recipe.
Zue:
No I didn't coated with flour.I did smashed the plaintain after fry,maybe it's look better.
Sue:

oooospphh!! now you remind me..I did use garlic but fried instead of raw..I forget to jot it down but you can see fried garlic in my last photo..oh yes,I used unriped green plaintain but with slightly yellowish..
Looks good, very crispy. I tried the savory one before, I think I still prefer the sweet one.
