Banana Cue Turon (Caramelized Banana Spring Rolls)

Instructions

1. 1Peel the 4 medium Saba Bananas and cut each banana in half lengthwise.
2. 2Lay one of the 8 spring roll wrappers flat. Place one banana half in the center of the wrapper. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of the 0.5 cup brown sugar over the banana half.
3. 3Fold the left and right sides of the spring roll wrapper inward over the banana. Then, starting from the bottom, roll the wrapper up tightly to enclose the banana. Lightly moisten the top edge of the wrapper with a little water and press to seal the roll.
4. 4Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the remaining banana halves and spring roll wrappers.
5. 5Pour the 0.5 cup vegetable oil into a 25.4 cm skillet. Heat the oil over medium heat, which is about 175°C.
6. 6Carefully place the rolled turon into the hot oil. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the wrappers are golden brown and the sugar has caramelized and is bubbling. The turon should be a deep golden color.
7. 7Using tongs, remove the turon from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes before serving.
