🍌 Turon

Snack/Dessert · Main ingredient: Saba Banana · ⏱ 5 min · Serves 5 · ~₱140 · Best for: Snack

Ingredients

• 8 pc 8 pieces saba bananas (plantains), ripe, peeled and halved lengthwise
• 0.5 cup 1/2 cup ripe jackfruit (langka), sliced into strips
• 8 pc 8 pieces lumpia wrappers
• 0.75 cup 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 cup 2 cups cooking oil, for frying

Instructions

1. Peel the saba bananas and slice each one in half lengthwise.
2. Lay a lumpia wrapper flat and place a banana half and a few strips of jackfruit near one edge.
3. Sprinkle 1-2 tbsp of brown sugar evenly over the banana and jackfruit.
4. Fold the sides of the wrapper inward, then roll tightly from the filled edge, sealing the tip with a little water.
5. Repeat with the remaining wrappers, banana, jackfruit, and sugar.
6. Heat oil in a wide frying pan over medium heat and add a few tablespoons of brown sugar to the oil to help caramelize the rolls.
7. Fry the turon rolls in batches, turning frequently, until golden brown and the sugar has caramelized into a crisp, glossy coating, about 4-5 minutes.
8. Remove and drain briefly on a wire rack (not paper towels, as the caramel will stick); let cool slightly before serving warm.
