  • 5 saba bananas, half
  • 1 cup of jackfruit, sliced lengthwise
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg, beaten
Directions:

Peel each individual wrapper separately until you have 10 pieces and set aside on another plate.



Slice the jackfruit and saba bananas lengthwise.





Place the halved saba banana on the corner of the wrapper. Sprinkle brown sugar on the top. Add the 4 pieces of the sliced jack fruit on top.



Roll the wrapper once towards the other side. Then fold the right and left edges towards the middle. Continue rolling. Leave the edge of the wrapper unwrapped and brush some of the beaten egg to ensure that the roll holds together. Finish wrapping.
