  • Small saucepan

Ingredients

For the banana lumpia

  • spring roll wrappers as needed
  • 3 ripe bananas

For making the caramel sauce

  • 100 g brown sugar
  • 60 ml water
  • 30 g unsalted butter
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Prepare the bananas. Peel the bananas and slice each one in half lengthwise, then crosswise, so you get 4 even pieces per banana.
  • Roll the banana lumpia. Place one banana piece diagonally on a spring roll wrapper. Add jackfruit (if using). Fold the bottom corner over the filling, roll upwards, tuck in the sides, and continue to roll tightly. Seal the edge with a dab of water.
  • Fry until golden. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the rolls in batches until golden and crispy, turning as needed. Remove and drain on a wire rack.
  • Make the caramel sauce. Combine brown sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add butter and continue stirring until smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
  • Glaze and serve. Dip each lumpia into the caramel or drizzle it on top while warm. Let the coating set slightly before serving. Enjoy!
