Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces ripe saba bananas (or plantains)
- 1 cup canned jackfruit strips (or fresh jackfruit)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 12 sheets spring roll wrappers
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Peel the saba bananas and slice them in half lengthwise.
Lay a spring roll wrapper flat on a clean surface with one corner facing you (like a diamond).
Place half a sliced banana near the center of the wrapper, horizontally.
Add 1-2 strips of jackfruit on top of the banana.
Sprinkle 1 to 2 teaspoons of brown sugar over the banana and jackfruit.
Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly into a log shape, leaving the top corner open.
Dab a little water on the open corner and press to seal the spring roll.
Repeat this process for the remaining bananas and jackfruit.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the wrapped turon into the pan, seam side down.
Fry the turon in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Carefully sprinkle a bit of brown sugar into the hot oil while frying to allow it to caramelize onto the rolls for an extra crunch.
Remove the cooked turon from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Let the turon cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
