Banana Lumpia! with jackfruit
I just made this yesterday as a matter of fact, and it's so easy.
Here is everything you will need:
Lumpia Wrappers (Springroll wraps)
Bananas
Strips of Jackfruit
Brown sugar (or you can use sugar and cinammon, this is what i use)
To cook, first heat a pot of oil on medium level. While the oil is heating, take the bananas, and first cut it in half then cut each half down the middle, so that you have 4 long strips of banana. Take a lumpia wrapper, and sprinkle a tbsp of cinnamon on the bottom of the wrapper (the closest to you) but dont put it along the end of the wrapper, just a little bit below the middle of the lumpia. Then place a banana on top of the cinnamon with the flat side of the banana facing up, then add a strip of jackfruit on top. sprinkle a tbsp of sugar on top of the jackfruit. Now take the side closest to you that has all of the ingredients, and begin to roll it foward, when you have wrapped it about half way, take both side of the wrapper and fold it like an envelope, then finish wrapping, and use water or oil to seal it. Then when the oil is hot, fry them until light golden brown. They taste best when you eat them warm!
This recipe is amazing and doesn't take long at all. Sorry if my directions were difficult. If you search Banana Lumpia on google, you will find easier directions if you couldn't understand mind.

That banana lumpia is properly called Turon in the Philippines, although it uses lumpia wrappers. Fresh ripe jackfruit is great to boil in a light syrup, andwill keep in the fridge a long time. Use it to top ice cream and jello. The unripe green jackfruit is cooked in coconut cream, shrimp, garlic, onion, ginger and chili.
