Turon (Banana Spring Rolls)

Ingredients

• 4 pieces Saba Bananas
• 1/2 cup Jackfruit (Langka), sliced
• 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
• 8 pieces Rice Paper Wrappers
• 1/4 cup Coconut Oil

Instructions

1. 1Peel the 4 Saba Bananas and cut each one in half lengthwise.
2. 2Lay one of the 8 Rice Paper Wrappers flat on a clean, damp surface. Place one banana half in the center of the wrapper. Add about 1 tablespoon of the 1/2 cup Jackfruit (Langka), sliced, on top of the banana. Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of the 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar over the jackfruit and banana.
3. 3Fold the left and right sides of the rice paper wrapper inward over the filling. Then, starting from the bottom edge closest to you, roll the wrapper up tightly towards the top, like a spring roll. Lightly moisten the top edge of the wrapper with a little water to seal the roll.
4. 4Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the remaining 3 Saba Bananas, 1/2 cup Jackfruit (Langka), and 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar, using the remaining 7 Rice Paper Wrappers.
5. 5Pour the 1/4 cup Coconut Oil into a 10-inch skillet and heat it over medium heat, about 350°F (175°C).
6. 6Carefully place the rolled turon into the hot coconut oil, seam-side down. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until the wrappers are golden brown and crispy. Watch closely to prevent the sugar from burning.
7. 7Remove the turon from the skillet using tongs 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.
