Remove the bammy from its wrapper, which is about an inch thick.

Soak the bammy in water for 1 minute.

Dice the bammy into halves and then cut into triangles before dropping them into the water.

Prepare oil that can withstand high heat in a medium dish.

After soaking, lift the bammy out of the water and shake off any excess water.

Drop the soaked bammy into the hot oil carefully, using a fork for safety.

Fry the bammy until golden brown on both sides, adjusting the heat if the temperature drops.

Place the fried bammy on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

For the baked option, place some bammy on a baking sheet and put it in the oven.

Serve the bammy with Jamaican canned fish or a meat substitute.
