Banana Spring Rolls in an airfryer

Crispy on the outside with a luscious caramelised banana filling, this is the Air Fryer Banana Fritter. So when making banana fritters, you want to find the right kind of banana that you're going to use. I prefer to use local bananas because I prefer that raw sugar flavour that's a little bit better than imported bananas from far away. But you must also make sure that these bananas have enough bite and are starchy enough so that when you cook them, they don't fall apart completely. Don't use them if they're too ripe. If they're too ripe, they're going to be mushy and too soft. As the gula melaka starts to caramelise on the cut side of the bananas, I'm going to grate a little bit more gula melaka just on the outside. Once your gula melaka has started to caramelise on the bananas, remember I don't want to cook these for too long. I'm going to take them out of the pan now. I'm using a little bit of cream cheese in here because it's going to add to that richness inside the banana fritter. Cream cheese by itself doesn't have that much flavour. I'm going to add some gula melaka in here. I'm going to mash it around to soften it. The first thing we're going to do is we're going to moisten our rice paper. A lot of people have the misconception that you need to dump this in water for a long time. Actually, you don't need to. Some people just brush water on it. We're just going to run this through water for about three to five seconds and then drain it off and take it out. It will still be firm. Anytime your rice paper is too wet and too moist, then you will defeat the purpose of having that crunch. Keep your filling close to the bottom and the base of the rice paper. Don't put it directly in the centre because we need to have as much of the covering going around this to protect it as it bakes inside your air fryer. Now, after one roll, I'm going to flip the sides over and this adds another layer of protection. And then I wrap and I roll and roll so that the entire thing is covered in at least two layers of rice paper. They're kind of sticky and a little bit soft but I'm going to try and get a nice crust going on these inside the air fryer. In order to do that, I need to drive out some of the moisture. I'm going to brush these with a little bit of melted butter. As always, using an air fryer, it's prudent to preheat an air fryer first before you load your items inside to cook. Doing so ensures that you're cooking them at the right temperature for the correct amount of time. All right, time's up! Let's see what we've got. Ooh, look at that! I'm gonna take a knife so you can hear the sound. Yes, look at that! These are nice and hot and crispy. Okay, here goes. Skin is nice and crispy. The interior, the filling, I've got that banana flavour but I've also got a caramelised edge from the gula melaka. And just on the inside, close to the banana, the rice paper is a little bit chewy. It's almost like this mochi kind of texture. That's very fun.
