Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces ripe saba bananas (or plantains)
- 1 cup canned jackfruit
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 12 pieces spring roll wrappers
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- 1 half cup more brown sugar for coating
Instructions
Peel the saba bananas and slice each banana lengthwise into halves.
Drain the canned jackfruit and cut into thin strips that are approximately 2 inches long.
Set the spring roll wrappers on a clean, dry work surface.
Take one wrapper and lay it flat, placing a banana half near one of the corners closest to you.
Add about 2-3 pieces of jackfruit strips on top of the banana within the wrapper.
Sprinkle approximately 1 tablespoon of brown sugar over the banana and jackfruit.
Fold the corner of the wrapper over the banana and jackfruit filling, rolling it tightly but gently.
Fold the sides over the filling and continue rolling until you have a neat log shape.
Dab a little water on the final corner to seal the wrapper shut.
Repeat the assembly process for the remaining banana and jackfruit slices.
In a large frying pan over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Gently place the rolled turon in batches into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry each turon for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until the wrapper is golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried turon and place them on a tray lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
While still hot, roll the turon in additional brown sugar to coat the surface.
Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm!
