INGREDIENTS
Sweetener
- 🧂 1 cup white sugar
- 🧂 1/3 cup brown sugar
Wrapper
- 20 spring roll wrappers
Filling
- 🍌 5 plantains, peeled and quartered
Cooking Oil
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
Liquid
- 💧 1/4 cup water
STEPS
Put white sugar and water in separate bowls. Separate spring roll wrappers and stack them. Peel plantains and cut them in half, then quarter them lengthwise.
Place 1 wrapper on a flat surface with 1 corner facing you. Coat a plantain piece in white sugar and place it on the wrapper about 1 inch from the corner closest to you. Fold the corner over the plantain, roll up halfway, fold in the two side corners, and continue rolling to the top. Moisten the top corner with wet fingers to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in one layer until golden brown on the bottom, 2–3 minutes. Flip the rolls over and sprinkle with brown sugar. Fry for another 2–3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
