Plantains can be used as a more accessible alternative.

brown sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

Coconut sugar offers a lower glycemic index.

Use plantains instead of saba bananas because of their higher starch content.

Deep fry the plantains in cooking oil until golden brown.

Add brown sugar directly into the hot oil with the fried plantains to caramelize.

Prepare a vinegar dip by mixing garlic, dehydrated green onions, bird eye chilies, soy sauce, and Filipino vinegar.
