How to Make Banana Lumpia

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Add 4 ripe but firm bananas, peeled and sliced lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick strips. Toss gently to coat the banana slices evenly with the sugar-cinnamon mixture.
  2. Lay out a spring roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Place a single banana strip near the bottom edge of the wrapper.
  3. Fold in the left and right sides of the wrapper over the banana, then tightly roll up from the bottom, tucking in the edges to seal.
  4. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place several lumpia (do not overcrowd) into the hot oil and fry, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Remove the cooked lumpia with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
  6. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving for extra sweetness.
