Banana Lumpia (Turon)
This recipe is simple to follow and results in a scrumptious treat that you won’t be able to resist. Let’s dive in!
Ingredients
- 6 ripe bananas (preferably saba bananas)
- 1 cup spring roll wrappers
- 1 cup brown sugar
- Oil for frying
- Optional: Jackfruit slices for added flavor
Instructions
- Start by peeling the bananas and cutting them in half lengthwise. If you’re using jackfruit, slice it into small pieces.
- In a shallow bowl, spread the brown sugar evenly. This will coat the bananas and give them a sweet, caramelized flavor.
- Take a spring roll wrapper and lay it flat on a clean surface. Place a banana half (or a piece of jackfruit, if using) on the wrapper.
- Sprinkle a bit of brown sugar over the banana to enhance the flavor.
- Fold the sides of the wrapper over the banana, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to fully encase the filling. Seal the edges with a little water.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, you can drop in a small piece of the wrapper; it should sizzle immediately.
- Once the oil is ready, gently place a few rolls in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd it. Fry them until they are golden brown on all sides.
- Once cooked, remove them from the oil and let them drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- To serve, you can sprinkle additional brown sugar on top for a sweet finish. Enjoy your crispy and delicious Banana Lumpia warm!
