My Filipino friends, Aida and Juana, brought me something wonderful this week. They called them "Banana Egg Rolls". However, they were actually made with plantains. I am sure you could use bananas or plantains in the recipe. I loved them and asked how they made them. It is an extremely simple recipe and takes very little effort.
Banana Egg Rolls
bananas or plantains
brown sugar
egg roll wrappers
oil for frying
Slice plantains lengthwise in thirds. Cut into pieces that will fit the egg rolls, leaving at least one inch on each end for folding. Place brown sugar on a plate. Roll plantain in brown sugar. Place in middle of egg roll wrapper. Follow egg roll wrapper directions to fold and wrap. You can find directions here also.
Pour enough oil in skillet to cover egg rolls. Heat oil until it ripples. Reduce heat and cook egg rolls until golden on each side. Remove and cool.
Note: My friends told me they wrap them and keep them in the refrigerator for several days. They fry them when they are read to eat them.
