I’m considering this a failed recipe, shared to document my journey, not because I think you should try it. I set out to look at plantain dumpling recipes, but there’s several different types of plantain dumplings and I didn’t focus in on a specific one, so my recipe wound up kind of tough and chewy. On top of that, the soup recipe I came up with lacks seasoning.
