This recipe is the modified version of a recipe given to me by my instructor in computer programming years ago. This is very popular in parties, especially with kids and teenagers. The sweet and spicy flavor in the sauce comes from the banana catsup, a product from the Philippines that continuously gain popularity around the world. This recipe uses the spicy Jufran. You can use the regular banana catsup if the spicy version is too strong.

1 head garlic, minced
