Ingredients with Measurements:
- 12 spring roll wrappers
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup cooked Himbabao (sticky rice)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Oil for frying
Special equipment needed:
- Deep fryer or a deep skillet
- Slotted spoon
- Small saucepan
Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, water, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens. Set aside.
2. Lay a spring roll wrapper on a flat surface. Place a few slices of banana in the center of the wrapper, followed by a spoonful of Himbabao.
3. Fold the sides of the wrapper towards the center, then roll the wrapper tightly to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
4. Heat oil in a deep fryer or a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the spring rolls until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the spring rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels.
5. Drizzle the brown sugar syrup over the spring rolls before serving.
