Turon (Banana Spring Rolls)

Ingredients

• 4 medium Saba Bananas
• 1 cup Jackfruit (canned in syrup)
• 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
• 8 sheets Rice Paper Wrappers
• 1 cup Coconut Oil

Instructions

1. 1Peel the 4 medium Saba Bananas and slice them lengthwise into halves or quarters.
2. 2Drain the 1 cup of canned Jackfruit (in syrup) and slice them into strips.
3. 3Lay one sheet of Rice Paper Wrapper flat. Place a banana slice and a few strips of jackfruit on the wrapper. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the 2 tablespoons of Brown Sugar.
4. 4Fold the sides of the wrapper inward over the filling, then roll it up tightly from one end to the other. Lightly dampen the final edge of the wrapper with water to seal it closed. Repeat this process for the remaining 7 sheets of Rice Paper Wrappers and filling.
5. 5Heat 1 cup of Coconut Oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers, about 350°F (175°C).
6. 6Carefully place the rolled turon into the hot coconut oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until the wrappers are golden brown and crispy all over. The turon should sound crisp when gently tapped.
7. 7Remove the fried turon from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve warm.
