Ingredients

oil for deep frying
0.25 cup brown sugar, or as needed
6 large bananas, halved crosswise and then lengthwise
24 lumpia wrappers, defrosted
1 tablespoon water, or as needed

Instructions

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or a large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for frying.
Put brown sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll each banana quarter in the brown sugar, coating it completely. Take a lumpia wrapper and wrap it around the coated banana, sealing the edge with a bit of water using a spoon or your finger. Repeat the process with all the remaining bananas and wrappers.
Fry the lumpia in batches in the hot oil until they turn a beautiful golden brown, approximately 5 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the lumpia to a plate lined with paper towels using a slotted spoon. Be aware that some sugar might leak out while they cool.
