4️⃣ Cook on the Pan
- Preheat a large nonstick or lightly greased frying pan over medium heat.
- Place the wrapped tupig rolls seam-side down in the pan in a single layer. Do not overcrowd.
- Cook for 6–8 minutes, or until the bottom side of the banana leaf is golden brown and slightly charred.
- Flip each roll and cook the other side for another 6–8 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula to help cook evenly.
- The tupig is done when both sides are browned and the filling feels firm when pressed.
🍵 Serving Suggestions
- Let the rolls cool slightly, then unwrap and enjoy while warm.
- Best served with hot coffee or tea, especially for merienda (afternoon snack).
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated briefly in a skillet or microwave.
