How to cook Turon or Banana Spring Rolls
Turon Recipe also known-as lumpiang saging. It is a deep fried caramelized banana spring rolls made of thinly sliced Saba bananas and a slice of jackfruit, dusted with brown sugar, rolled in a spring roll wrapper then deep-fried.
It is one of the favorite street food in the Philippines sold alongside with banana cue, camote cue, and maruya. They are sold along sidewalks by ambulant vendors on rolling carts. During my college years, this is my break time snack because it is very affordable.
When buying the Saba ingredient, do not choose overripe because when you deep-fried it, they will become mushy. You can store the uncooked Turon inside the chiller.
When cooking Turon, make sure to fry it in hot oil. This is the secret in making this snack crispy. It's best to eat this Filipino dessert while still warm.

I have made fried bananas before, but this looks so much better. Not sure I can find jackfruit here. I wonder if it is still good with just the banana.

Many of the ingredients in your recipes I have never heard of. It is a good thing to become more knowledgable about what the rest of the planet eats!

i liked my "turon/banana spring rolls" not with "langka ( riped jackfruit)" but with a good amount of cheese inside, not sugar coated but garnished with condensed milk and coffee springkles... try it...
