Caramelized Banana Turon

✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 8 Saba bananas
• 1 cup Jackfruit
• 3/4 cup Brown sugar
• 8 Lumpia wrappers
• 3 cups Cooking oil

Steps

1. Halve the saba bananas lengthwise and roll each piece in brown sugar until well coated.
2. Lay a banana half and a few jackfruit strips on each wrapper; roll tight, sealing with water.
3. Fry in 350°F oil, 3 to 4 minutes per side, until deep golden.
4. In the last minute, sprinkle a spoonful of sugar into the oil around each roll — it caramelizes on contact into a glassy shell.
5. Drain on a rack. The best turon shatters, then gives way to molten banana and perfumed jackfruit. Eat warm, ideally from a street cart, but home works too.
