Ingredients
Instructions
Use a knife to cut each banana from its stem and trim it. Wash them to clean them, and put them in a deep pot.
Add enough water to at least cover the bananas by 1 inch.
Cover the pot, turn on the heat, bring the liquid to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes or until cooked through.
Remove from the cooking pot, drain, and let cool down. Peel and place on a plate with dipping sauce.
Serve it warm or cold. It is best to consume it with a pair of fish bagoongs; we call them ginamos here in Bisaya.
