Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces saba bananas
- 1 cup jackfruit
- 12 pieces spring roll wrappers
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Peel the saba bananas and cut them in half lengthwise.
Separate the spring roll wrappers carefully and set aside.
Slice the jackfruit into thin strips.
Lay a spring roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place one slice of banana and a strip of jackfruit near the center of the wrapper.
Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of brown sugar across the length of the banana and jackfruit.
Fold the bottom end of the wrapper over the filling, then fold the sides snugly against the filling. Roll tightly to form a log, moistening the end with water to seal the edge.
Repeat the wrapping process with the remaining bananas and wrappers.
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
Carefully add the wrapped turon into the hot oil, seam side down, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes or until the wrapper is golden brown and crisp.
Once crisp, sprinkle a little more brown sugar over the turon and let it caramelize in the oil.
Remove from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve warm and enjoy the delicious Banana Turon!
