    Lay a lumpia wrapper on your work surface. Arrange a piece of banana and jackfruit in a line down the center.

    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.

  3. 03

    Repeat the filling and rolling steps to make a total of 10 rolls.
