Turon or Banana Lumpia

Turon Saba (Banana Lumpia)

This Turon Saba recipe is a typical Filipino merienda or snack.  

Turon resembles as a banana spring rolls which consist of plantain and jack fruit that is wrapped in a lumpia wrapper then dipped in brown sugar and fried.

Ingredients :

• 1/2 dozen ripe saba (banana plantain)
• 1 cup chopped langka (jackfruit)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• lumpia (spring roll) wrappers
• oil, enough for deep frying

Cooking Procedures :

1. Cut banana in half, and cut each half into 3 pieces. Roll slightly each banana piece in sugar.
2. Place the sugar coated bananas on top of each lumpia wrapper (this will depend to your liking on how many pieces of banana slices for each wrapper), spread with chopped langka (jackfruit), carefully wrap and roll into shape of egg roll. Seal the ends with water or egg white.
3. Fry in deep medium-high oil. (You will need a long tong at this part as it is very hot w/ oil) 
4. Sprinkle 1/8 teaspoon of sugar over your turon before putting it on the boiling oil. This will caramelize and stick to your turon. Flip your turon to coat evenly with caramelized sugar.
5. Fry until golden brown and crisp.
6. Remove from pan and set over wax paper for a couple of minutes and then served.
7. Enjoy with Ice cream of your flavor taste!

Variations
Sesame seeds (if desired) maybe sprinkled while turon is still hot and the sugar has not set. Maybe served with ice cream for dessert or just as is for snack!
