Joey, this is a very simple dish. It's just a snack, and it's very popular in the Dominican Rep., same as potato chips are in the US, for example. Most people seem to like it, the only problem some have is that it is deep-fried.

The baking soda is what gives it the crispiness and flakiness. I don't believe you can do without it.
