Cross cut them and just fry in oil until golden vrlwn . There's no secret to it really. Which is why it's upsetting when spots only give you two or are expensive.

You don't have to do it like that. That just usually how they're served. You can cut them into strips if you want
The half fried then smashed versions are tostones I believe. And those are unripe plantains. They won't be sweet at all.

I'm way more of a ramen guy myself. Pho doesn't do it for me for whatever reason.

Word ramen is probably my favorite kind of noodle soup. Pho is good but gimme ramen every time.

^ I'm the opposite, I'll take Pho over ramen.
Let's be honest, I wouldn't say no to either though!

Pho>Ramen, but both are in the "things I don't eat a lot/enough of" category for me.

You want them as close to this as possible to get them as sweet as possible

Yeah, looks like it. Should wait a day or so for them to get fully yellow.
Keep in mind they'll be sweet but also easier to fall a part.
Them joints falling a part instantlyYou want them as close to this as possible to get them as sweet as possible
Gonna have to cut them thick.But yes, this'll be the most sweet.

Throw them in a black plastic bag and place them in your pantry. Should accelerate the browning and ripeness.

yeah but they will be very mushy when you fry em. You gotta make sure when you slice it the plantain don’t collect in a clump.You want them as close to this as possible to get them as sweet as possible
