Instructions

  1. Step 1: Lay out 8 spring roll wrappers on a clean surface. Place 1/2 of a peeled and sliced saba banana lengthwise on each wrapper. Add about 1 tbsp jackfruit strips on top of the banana if using.
  2. Step 2: Sprinkle 1 tbsp brown sugar evenly over the banana and jackfruit. Roll the wrapper tightly around the banana, folding in the sides to seal completely.
  3. Step 3: In a large skillet, heat 1 cup vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering (around 350°F).
  4. Step 4: Fry the wrapped bananas, seam-side down first, for 2-3 minutes until the wrapper is golden and crisp. Flip carefully and fry the other side for another 2 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Remove turon from oil and drain on paper towels. In the same pan, add 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup brown sugar, stirring continuously to create a caramel sauce.
  6. Step 6: Dip each fried turon quickly into the caramel sauce to coat, then set on a rack to cool slightly before serving warm as a sweet snack or dessert.
