Ingredients

• 4 pieces Saba Bananas
• 1/2 cup Jackfruit
• 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
• 8 pieces Lumpia Wrappers
• 2 cups Vegetable Oil

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

Instructions

1. 1Prepare your ingredients: Peel the 4 Saba Bananas and cut each one in half lengthwise. Measure out the 1/2 cup of Jackfruit and the 2 tablespoons of Brown Sugar. Have your 8 Lumpia Wrappers ready.
2. 2Assemble the turon: Lay one lumpia wrapper flat. Place one banana half near the bottom edge. Top the banana with a few strips of the 1/2 cup of Jackfruit and sprinkle with the 2 tablespoons of Brown Sugar. Fold the sides of the lumpia wrapper inward over the filling, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to create a spring roll shape.
3. 3Repeat step 2 for the remaining ingredients until you have 8 turon rolls.
4. 4Heat the oil: Pour the 2 cups of Vegetable Oil into a deep pan or wok. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 175°C.
5. 5Fry the turon: Carefully place 3-4 turon rolls into the hot 175°C vegetable oil. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry for 4-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and crispy.
6. 6Drain the turon: Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried turon rolls from the hot oil. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
7. 7Serve the turon warm.
