Fried soup is served with boiled bananas.

Boiling green bananas makes them easier to digest and releases their resistant starch, which can help lower blood sugar levels and improve gut health. Boiled bananas are also rich in potassium, vitamin C, and fiber, benefiting your heart, immune system, and digestion. To boil bananas, you need to cut off the ends and make a slit along the peel. Then, you can add them to a pot of boiling water and cook for about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on their ripe. After that, you can peel them and enjoy them hot or cold.
