- 3 ripe plantains
- 1 cup whole wheat or rice flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 tsp ginger grated
- 2 tbsp onion finely chopped
- 2 tbsp green onion finely chopped
- 1 tbsp parsley finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, lightly chopped up the plantains until there are no more lumps. If they are really ripe, you can smash them with a potato masher.
- Addthe remaining ingredients to the mashed plantains.
- Mix thoroughly.
- Add 2” of cooking oil to a pot over medium high heat. The oil temp should read 350 degrees. Using a cookie dropper, drop balls of the plantain dough into the hot oil. Make sure to not overcrowd the pot. These will take about 6 minutes to fry. Drain grease on a paper towel.

Stir Fried Pea Tips
Stir Fried Pea Tips
Pea tips are the leaves of the pea plant. They are very similar to spinach, but a little sweeter. You can find them year round at most Asian markets. They are fairly inexpensive; usually between $2-$3lb. To process and clean them, simply remove the leaves from the main stem. The little stem that’s part of the leaf is tender, but the main stem is tough. If there are any pea tendrils growing from the leaf, remove that too. Also too tough. Wash the pea tips in a colander and pat dry if you’re going to use them in a stir fry. All they really need is a little garlic, salt and pepper. The addition of sesame oil gives it a nice nutty aroma.
Ingredients
- 1 lb pea tip leaves wased
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Instructions
- Heat up cooking oil in a large sauce pan or wok over high heat. Add in the minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds.
- Add in the pea tips. Give them a good stir. Season with salt and pepper. It might look like a lot at first, but the peatips cook down to less than half the amount.
- The pea tips will only take a total of 5 minutes to cook. Add the sesame oil the last 30 seconds of cooking.
