Canned tuna is more affordable and widely available.

festival dumpling flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

All-purpose flour is less expensive and still yields good dumplings.

Put the skinless, boneless codfish in a saucepan with boiling water and change the water three times, boiling each time.

Drain the canned ackee in a colander.

Chop the bacon into small pieces and start it in a frying pan until crispy, then remove it from the pan.

Chop the onion and tomato, adding what seems necessary for the frying pan.

Remove any bones from the codfish and break it up slightly, ensuring it retains some saltiness.

Add about 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan if it looks like it needs more oil.

Add the codfish, bacon, and ackee to the pan and stir them together, leaving to simmer for a little bit.

Sprinkle black pepper over the mixture and gently fold in the ackee to avoid it becoming mushy.
