Delicious Turon Recipe: Crispy Banana Lumpia

Ingredients

• 6 ripe bananas (preferably saba or plantains)
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 12 spring roll wrappers
• Cooking oil (for frying)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup jackfruit (optional, sliced thinly)
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
• Water (for sealing wrappers)

Instructions

1. Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise into halves. If using, slice the jackfruit thinly as well.
2. In a shallow dish, sprinkle the brown sugar evenly and mix in the cinnamon if using, then set aside.
3. Take a spring roll wrapper and place it on a clean surface with a corner pointing towards you. Place a banana half (and jackfruit if using) on the wrapper, then sprinkle some brown sugar over it.
4. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll it tightly to enclose the filling completely. Use a little water to seal the edge of the wrapper.
5. Repeat the process until all bananas are wrapped. Heat cooking oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until hot.
6. Carefully place the wrapped turon in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
7. While still hot, roll the fried turon in the remaining brown sugar to coat them for added sweetness and crunch.
8. Serve warm and enjoy your homemade turon as a delightful snack or dessert!
