    In Jamaica there are many individuals of Chinese descent so I can see where recipe #2 comes from. Combining both recipies - as you have - results in the more common flavor profile you will find. I would suggest giving that rice and peas another try - I'm not Jamaican but it looks a bit friendly.

      The plantains weren’t done traditionally. I’m begging you to try and wait until they’re sweet! The sugar carmelizes and it’s a totally different experience. Also the rice was very wet it’s traditionally not. He did a great job on the chicken but the others not so much most videos banish is killing it so I will not act like I just don’t like him as a Jamaican I’m just saying what the food back home is more like.

    In place of soy sauce, I use a mixture of fermented black soybeans and black garlic. You can use less so it doesn't overpower the flavor, plus they both lend a lot of complexity that soy sauce alone simply doesn't have. And it gives you that same dark brown color. More allspice will also give you a better color. I've always used a 2:1 ratio (by volume) of whole allspice berries to fresh thyme leaves. I also char the onion and peppers before adding them, which helps with color and flavor.
