Turon (Filipino Plantain Spring Rolls)

Turon are crispy deep-fried rolls containing plantains and ripe jackfruit.

Ingredients

  • 2 saba plantains, cut into 10 3-inch pieces
  • Jackfruit (optional), sliced
  • 10 lumpia/spring roll wrappers
  • Oil for frying
  • ½ cup brown sugar

Instructions

  1. 1
    Lay a lumpia wrapper on your work surface. Arrange a piece of banana and jackfruit in a line down the center.
  2. 2
    Fold the sides of the wrapper towards the center, then roll everything up. Brush the overlapping end of the wrapper with a little water, then press against the roll to seal.
  3. 3
    Repeat the filling and rolling steps to make a total of 10 rolls.
  4. 4
    Heat an inch of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the rolls and fry until golden brown on all sides.

    Remove from the pan, and let any excess oil drain.

    Remove the melted sugar pan from the heat. Immediately add the rolls to the pan and turn to coat with caramelized sugar.
