Turon (Banana Spring Rolls)

Ingredients

• 6 pieces Saba bananas
• 1/2 cup Brown sugar
• 12 pieces Lumpia wrappers (egg-free)
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup Jackfruit strips (optional)

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

1. 1Peel the 6 Saba bananas and cut each one in half lengthwise.
2. 2Place the banana halves on a clean surface. Evenly sprinkle the 1/2 cup of brown sugar over all the banana halves. If you are using them, place 1 jackfruit strip on top of each banana half.
3. 3Take one of the 12 Lumpia wrappers. Place a prepared banana half near one corner of the wrapper. Tightly roll the wrapper around the banana, tucking in the sides as you go, to form a neat roll. Repeat with the remaining banana halves and Lumpia wrappers.
4. 4Pour the 1 cup of Vegetable oil into a large, heavy-bottomed pot or wok. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 175°C.
5. 5Carefully place the wrapped turon into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the wrappers are golden brown and crispy on all sides. The turon should sound crisp when tapped.
6. 6Using a slotted spoon or spider strainer, carefully remove the turon from the hot oil. Place the fried turon on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve the turon warm.
