Turon (Banana Spring Rolls)

Ingredients

• 4 medium Saba bananas (or plantains)
• 8 pieces Spring roll wrappers (lumpia wrappers)
• 1/4 cup Brown sugar
• 1/2 cup Jackfruit strips (langka)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1/4 cup Dairy-free Caramel Sauce

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

Instructions

1. 1Peel the 4 medium Saba bananas and slice each one in half lengthwise.
2. 2Lay one of the 8 spring roll wrappers flat. Place one banana half onto the wrapper. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of the 1/4 cup brown sugar over the banana and add some of the 1/2 cup jackfruit strips if you are using them.
3. 3Fold the two sides of the wrapper over the banana. Then, starting from the end with the banana, roll the wrapper up tightly. Lightly moisten the top edge of the wrapper with a little water and press it to seal the roll.
4. 4Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the remaining banana halves and spring roll wrappers.
5. 5Pour the 2 tablespoons of coconut oil into a 25.4 cm skillet and heat it over medium heat, about 175°C.
6. 6Carefully place the rolled turon into the hot oil. Fry them for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and crispy all over. This should take about 6 to 9 minutes in total.
7. 7Remove the cooked turon from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
8. 8Drizzle the 1/4 cup of dairy-free caramel sauce over the turon just before serving.
