Dynamite is a classic Filipino dish. It is filled with ground pork and deep-fried in spring roll wrappers. Since jalapeño poppers are just good, I decided to make a cross-over of the two dishes. It's not one of the healthiest dishes around so I recreated my pan-fried version. Although, I must say that cheese is not as healthy so I used good quality ones with less fat. I never deep-fry anything. Seeing the food float in oil is such a nightmare. I just couldn't get myself to do it. The irony is that I do eat them occasionally when I get them from restaurants.
Cut the jalapeños in the middle lengthwise to create an opening then crosswise on top. Just cut halfway so that the jalapeños stay in one piece.
Combine the cheeses and season with a little salt and pepper.
Fill the jalapeños with the cheese mixture.
Wrap the jalapeños in the spring roll wrappers.
All wrapped up and ready to be fried.
I cooked my jalapeño poppers for just around 5 minutes. If you want your jalapeños to be very tender, you may need to cook it a little longer but be careful because the cheese would start to ooze out and it would turn black quickly.
All ready to be eaten! Serve with some salsa for dipping.
