👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure even seasoning for best flavor.
2
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
3
Add chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
💡 전문가 팁: Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
4
Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for another minute until fragrant.
5
Stir in chopped tomatoes and optional chili pepper. Cook until tomatoes break down, about 5-7 minutes.
6
Return the chicken to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 25 minutes, or until chicken is almost cooked through.
7
Add the sliced yellow bananas to the pot. Stir gently to combine. Cover and continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until bananas are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
💡 전문가 팁: Be careful not to overcook the bananas, they should be soft but not mushy.
8
Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
💡 전문가 팁: Serve hot with rice or fufu.
