Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Spread the brown sugar on a plate. Roll each banana half in the sugar until coated and set them on a tray.

2. 2

   Lay a wrapper on the counter with one corner pointing toward you. Place a banana half across the lower third and a jackfruit strip beside it.

3. 3

   Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the two side corners and roll up tightly. Brush the last corner with water to seal.

4. 4

   Repeat with the remaining bananas and wrappers.

5. 5

   Pour the oil into a wok or small, deep frying pan and heat to 175 °C (350 °F).

6. 6

   Fry the rolls in batches without crowding, turning once, until the wrapper is blistered and golden and the sugar has caramelized, 2-3 min per side.

7. 7

   Lift out with tongs and drain on a wire rack. Let them cool for 2-3 min, since the caramel is very hot.

8. 8

   Serve warm, sprinkled with a little extra brown sugar.
