Turon: Sweet Banana Spring Rolls with Caramel Crisp

Prep: 15 mins  |  Cook: 20 mins  |  Serves: 6

Street corners, recess breaks, and after-school walks — turon tastes like childhood. The sugar blisters into a thin glassy crust that crackles when you bite.

Ingredients

  • 12 spring roll wrappers
  • 6 ripe saba bananas, halved lengthwise
  • 1/2 cup jackfruit (langka), sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Roll each saba half in brown sugar. Add a bit of jackfruit, then wrap snugly in spring roll wrapper.
  2. Seal the edge with a dab of water.
  3. Fry in medium oil until light golden.
  4. Sprinkle a spoonful of sugar into the pan; let it melt and coat turon for a caramel finish. Fry until deep golden and crisp.

Serving Tip

Best enjoyed with hot rice and shared with family.
