pakbol


pakbol - /pak-bol/ (Maranao snack) [n.] fried cassava-coated plantain.


The cassava root is peeled, grated into pulp, and squeezed the juice out. The extracted juice is discarded away. A handful of cassava pulp is pressed between palms and molded flat into a mat. A peeled rareripe saba (plantain) is placed in the middle of the flattened cassava pulp and then rolled altogether until the banana is entirely wrapped in the cassava pulp. Pakbol is deep-fried in cooking oil until cooked or golden brown.

When serving, pakbol is pressed and rolled on a bed of white or brown sugar.
