Ingredients

• 6 pieces saba bananas
• 1 cup jackfruit
• 12 pieces spring roll wrappers
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Peel the saba bananas and cut them in half lengthwise.

Step 2

Separate the spring roll wrappers carefully and set aside.

Step 3

Slice the jackfruit into thin strips.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of brown sugar across the length of the banana and jackfruit.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Repeat the wrapping process with the remaining bananas and wrappers.

Step 8

Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.

Step 9

Carefully add the wrapped turon into the hot oil, seam side down, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 10

Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes or until the wrapper is golden brown and crisp.

Step 11

Once crisp, sprinkle a little more brown sugar over the turon and let it caramelize in the oil.

Step 12

Remove from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy the delicious Banana Turon!
