I just made some last night w your Dominican beans and your shredded chicken. GIRL !!!!! Let 👏 me 👏 tell👏 you👏 those beans are freaking AMAZING. Like what!!! I kept "tasting" hahaha more like eating them when they were almost done. The chicken was yum yum yummy. I am having leftovers right now and doing a happy dance. Thank you sooo much. I will be trying lots more of your recipes.
Miraaaaaaaaaaa I can just TELL you're Dominican. If you ain't, you're Puerto Rican. The way you kept stopping and saying "I don't know how to say this in English". BRUH
BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUH that spoke to me on a spiritual level. There are times when I don't even know how to say things in SPANISH when I'm speaking to someone from Central America. For the longest, I would call the school bus "la wawa" and the Spanish kids just looked at me like I was special.
Anyway take a like and a sub!
I'm Dominican 🇩🇲, and my Dominican 🇩🇴 neighbours introduced me to this, and every timr i try to make it like them, it always come out soggy or undercook, plus mi español is no tan bueno, so it's difficult to ask them how to make it. But thabks to this video, I hopw they come out decent every time.
I'm guessing 350° is that sweet spot to fry the tostones.
I use a whisky tumbler glass. They shmush just right…
I CANNOT believe I have been buying these frozen for my husband!!! Who knew that is all you had to do!!! Thank you!
🇵🇷 🇬🇾
Tostones masher, I got the one in this video from Amazon.
Thank you very much I love the video I will be making these with some steak and onions and some rice red beans
I got a dominican man but i forgot one important detail.
I CAN'T COOK. But im gonna try 🙂
Hi, how much oil do I use? How long do I fry them on each side before flipping them?
Thanks! That was great! I also got a tip to quickly dip them in or brush one side with salty lime water that has soaked crushed garlic; Bfore the second frying. It does make the oil splatter more but, wow, the flavor is worth it to me. Plus I always make mojo de ajo to dip them in.
Back to basics by Z
I know everyone swears by vegetable oil, but try it with extra virgin olive oil. The flavor is amazing!
What oil is used?
Heard the NY accent, so I'm trusting you above everyone else.
I wasn't about to buy some special device that only has one use, so I used the cast iron burger press I use for hot sandwiches and crushing garlic (and burgers).
I heated too high and cut too thin though. Several fell apart and became sacrificial snacks. Some refused to be pressed. I got a few rough-draft decent though. I also had some raspberries going kinda soft so I figured I'd use them up. Mashed 'em, bit of lemon juice, some apple cidar vinegar. Essentially improvised a raspberry ketchup, and it is delicious with these. Got one more plantain right now, gonna let it ripen a bit (these things ripen a lot slower than bananas…) more then try again with the tips here.
Hello! I have the green plantains peeled / sliced and in the freezer to keep them ripe until I fry them. Does anyone know how to properly defrost them before frying? My first time freezing them. Thank you!
what oil is used here?
I followed your instructions. They turned out great! Thank you!
😂 I love the ending: “Que lo plátanos están a 10 por un peso?” Right now in my local supermarket they are a dollar each 😩 Anyway, thanks for the tips. I’m making some right now 😂
that looks way amazing
What can I do if I wait too long to eat them and they get hard to freshen them up again?
Very nice
I love tostones it's a healthy, delicious snack. 😋
HI I have seen awesome tostones in Puerto Rico restaurants and Colombian where the tostone is amazingly crunchy like a cracker on the outside and soft on the inside. Id love to learn how to do this.
Awesome Gracias!
Please forgive me but what banana do I buy before making this
gotta send this to my man.
Man i wish they were that cheap again i paid 2 for a dollar and they are small platano
Que mujer tan bella, Dios!
Lol I’ve been doing this for quite some time and had no idea it had a name ..
