Turon (Banana Spring Rolls)

Ingredients

• 6 pieces Saba Bananas
• 12 sheets Spring Roll Wrappers (Lumpia Wrappers)
• 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Dairy-Free Margarine
• 1 cup Vegetable Oil

Instructions

1. 1Peel the 6 Saba Bananas. Cut each banana in half lengthwise, so you have 12 pieces.
2. 2Place the 1/2 cup Brown Sugar on a small plate or shallow dish.
3. 3Gently roll each banana piece in the brown sugar until it is evenly coated. Set aside.
4. 4Lay out one of the 12 Spring Roll Wrappers. Place one sugared banana piece near one edge. Fold the sides of the wrapper inward over the banana, then roll it up tightly from the edge with the banana. Repeat with the remaining banana pieces and wrappers.
5. 5Pour the 1 cup Vegetable Oil into a large, heavy-bottomed pot or wok. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
6. 6Carefully add the 2 tablespoons Dairy-Free Margarine to the hot oil. It will melt quickly.
7. 7Gently place 2-3 rolled turon into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. You will hear a gentle sizzle as they cook.
8. 8Using a slotted spoon or spider strainer, carefully remove the fried turon from the oil. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat frying with any remaining turon.
9. 9Serve the Turon immediately while they are warm and crispy.
