Turon (Banana Lumpia)
These deliciously sweet and crispy rolls are filled with caramelized bananas and are sure to be a hit with everyone. Whether you’re enjoying them as a snack or dessert, they’re simple to make and utterly satisfying!
Ingredients
- 4 ripe saba bananas (or any firm banana variety)
- Spring roll wrappers (about 10-12)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- Oil for frying
- Optional: Jackfruit or mango for added sweetness
Instructions
- Start by peeling the saba bananas and slicing them in half lengthwise. If you’re using jackfruit or mango, slice them thinly as well.
- Take a spring roll wrapper and lay it flat on a clean surface. Place one half of the banana on the wrapper, and if you’re adding any fruit, layer it on top of the banana.
- Roll the wrapper around the banana tightly, folding in the sides as you go to create a neat package. Seal the edge with a little water.
- In a shallow dish, pour some brown sugar. Once you have rolled the lumpia, dip them lightly into the sugar to coat.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Carefully place the lumpia in the oil, frying until golden brown and crispy. This should take about 3-5 minutes per side.
- Once cooked, remove them from the frying pan and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
- Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade Turon while they’re still warm and crispy!
