History: One day my husband brought these cooking bananas home from the store. He didn't know that they existed and was surprisingly happy to find them. All I could think to use them for was this recipe that I had tasted in Hawaii and on Cebu Island. I remembered it because I watched someone make these for us on the beach.

The trick is to keep adjusting the heat when frying. These banana lumpia turned out even less sweet than I thought they would, so if you have a sweet tooth, I recommend increasing the amount of sugar when wrapping these. I used brown cane sugar. Recipe by Aroharokomoko

Steps

1

Here are the ingredients. The bananas are cooking plantains and can't be eaten raw.
2

Cut the banana into 3 equal pieces. Peel the pieces with your fingers.
3

Cut each of these pieces in half lengthwise.
4

Coat the banana pieces with sugar.
5

Wrap the bananas in spring roll wrappers. I've cut the wrappers in half here.
6

This is how they should look just before frying.
7

This is important! Please fry with oil below medium heat. The spring roll wrappers are extremely easy to burn so please be careful.
8

After 8-10 minutes, the lumpia should have turned a nice golden colour and you can take them out of the oil.
9

And they're done. Serve with ice cream, maple syrup, anything you like.

Peeling the bananas is pretty hard, but a nice result at this step of the process will give you beautiful lumpias.
