Cooking instructions
Procedure
Lay a lumpia wrapper on your work surface. Arrange a piece of banana and jackfruit in a line down the center.
Procedure
Fold the sides of the wrapper towards the center, then roll everything up. Brush the overlapping end of the wrapper with a little water, then press against the roll to seal.
Procedure
Repeat the filling and rolling steps to make a total of 10 rolls.
Procedure
Heat an inch of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the rolls and fry until golden brown on all sides.
Procedure
Remove from the pan, and let any excess oil drain.
Procedure
Add the sugar to a heavy-bottomed pan. Carefully heat over medium heat, stirring periodically, until the sugar is fully melted. Make sure not to let it burn.
Procedure
Remove the melted sugar pan from the heat. Immediately add the rolls to the pan and turn to coat with caramelized sugar.
Procedure
Remove the rolls from the sugar and serve.

Read it through first
Skim all 8 steps before you start — it is the difference between cooking and firefighting.
Scale it
Use the quantities listed in the original recipe. Adjust them manually if making a different batch size.
Storage
Cool completely, then keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
Reheating
Reheat gently with a splash of water in a covered pan, rather than blasting it, so nothing dries out.
