Instructions
- Step 1: Lay 1 spring roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place 3-4 slices of saba banana and 2 tablespoons of jackfruit strips near one edge of the wrapper.
- Step 2: Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of brown sugar over the fruit filling. Fold the sides of the wrapper inward and roll tightly to seal the banana and jackfruit inside.
- Step 3: Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F for frying.
- Step 4: Fry the prepared turon rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until the wrappers are golden brown and caramelized from the brown sugar.
- Step 5: Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve turon warm as a sweet street food snack or dessert.
