If using plantains, Peel then cut in half crosswise then slice halves into 4 strips. For saba, peel then cut into 4 strips.
2 large plantains or 4 saba bananas
Lay a piece of lumpia wrapper in a clean flat surface. Place a slice of banana on one side of the wrapper. Wrap and roll the wrappers.
16 pcs. spring roll wrappers
Brush a little bit of water at the end to seal the wrapper. Repeat these steps with the rest of the banana strips.
Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry wrapped bananas seam side down for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until crisp and golden brown.
2 cups vegetable oil
Remove fried wrapped bananas from the pan using a strainer to remove excess oil. Transfer in a plate then set aside.
Make The Sauce
In a pan over low-medium heat, add butter and jackfruit. Stir until butter melts then add langka flavoring, banana essence, and cinnamon powder. Stir until well incorporated.
2 tbsp butter, 1/4 cup langka cut into strips, 1/2 tsp langka flavoring, 1/2 tsp banana essence, 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
Stir-in the rum and let simmer for 2 minutes to let the scent of alcohol evaporates.
1 tbsp rum
Add the pineapple juice and stir to combine ingredients. Continue cooking until jackfruit is soft, cook through and sauce is reduced.
1/2 cup pineapple juice
Tip in brown sugar and stir until dissolved and sauce is thick but still pourable. Add the fried wrapped bananas and toss-in along with the sauce to coat.
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
Transfer coated wrapped bananas in a serving plate and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Mix together skimmed milk, powdered sugar, and cinnamon powder then add some on top of the dish. Serve and enjoy. Bon appetit!
