Instructions

1. 1

   Mash 3 ripe plantains thoroughly in a large bowl until smooth.

2. 2

   Combine the mashed plantains with 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon salt, 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, 0.5 teaspoon ground allspice, 0.25 cup chopped green onions, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, and 0.25 cup water to form a thick batter.

3. 3

   Heat 4 cups of vegetable oil in a deep pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C) for deep frying.

4. 4

   Carefully drop tablespoons of the plantain batter into the hot oil, frying for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.

5. 5

   While the fritters fry, prepare the glaze by whisking together 3 tablespoons gochujang, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 minced clove garlic, and 0.25 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat, bringing it to a gentle simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.

6. 6

   Remove the golden brown plantain fritters from the oil with a slotted spoon, placing them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

7. 7

   Toss the warm plantain fritters in the prepared gochujang glaze until evenly coated and serve immediately.
