Equipment
- Wide pan or pot
Ingredients
- 6 ripe saba bananas cut into 4, lengthwise
- 6 ripe jackfruit cut into strips
- 24 small lumpia or spring roll wrappers
- ½ cup sugar
- Neutral oil for frying
Instructions
- Place a banana slice and a few jackfruit strips near the bottom edge of a wrapper. Fold the bottom over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll snugly. Seal the edge with water. Keep unused wrappers covered with a damp paper towel.
- Heat enough oil to cover the turon over medium-high heat. Fry in batches for 3–5 minutes, turning until golden and crisp. Drain on a wire rack.
- In a separate pan, melt the sugar over medium heat, swirling until deep golden brown. Lower the heat, then use tongs to coat the turon in caramel or drizzle it over them.
- Place on parchment paper with space between the pieces. Let the caramel cool for a few minutes before eating.
