Banana Lumpia
Print Recipe Pin RecipeIngredients
- Bananas
- Lumpia Spring Roll Wrappers
- Raw sugar or brown sugar
- Peanut oil for frying see note
Optional:
- Caramel Sauce
Instructions
- Cut a banana down the middle lengthwise.
- Roll the banana half in raw sugar. (If you are using the super-sweet baby bananas, you can probably skip this step.)
- Wrap prepared banana half in a lumpia wrapper. You can do this "burrito-style,' or leave the ends open.
- Pour a scant ¼ inch oil into a medium skillet and heat over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F. (A drop of water should sizzle when dropped in the pan.)
- Carefully lay wrapped banana halves seam down in the pan. Do not crowd.
- Fry on one side until golden, and then flip and repeat on the other side.
- Drain on paper towels and serve immediately, alone or with caramel for dipping. (They are also good hours later - they just aren't as crispy.)
Notes
BANANAS: Use sweet baby bananas if you can find them, but regular bananas will work just fine.
OIL: I sometimes use unrefined coconut oil instead of peanut oil because I like the flavor it imparts to the lumpia; however, if you use it, use extreme caution due to its low smoke point, and definitely do not use unrefined coconut oil for deep frying.
