Every time I go to the school canteen or go to the market, I often see this food sold by vendors. The crispy wrapper and the very sweet slice of banana are so good! Plus with sweet sugar, ohh! Goodness! What a perfect snack to eat. But what exactly kind of food I am telling you, well it's turon! Who doesn't love turon?
Last weekend my mother went to the market and she bought some bananas (saba). So the first thing I think is to make turon or cook it with sugar, I don't know the exact term for that HAHA. But yeah sweets are not good for us so I just think about cooking turon.
But before we continue what exactly turon is? Let's see....
Turon, dusted with brown sugar, rolled in a spring roll wrapper and fried till the wrapper is crisp. Turon can also include other fillings. Most commonly jackfruit (langka), but there are also recipes with sweet potato (kamote), mango (mangga), cheddar cheese and coconut (niyog). Source
Okay! So let's go back and take a bite at these crunchy turon that we will make! Im getting excited! Yay!
First thing I did is I prepared all the ingredients:
Lumpia wrapper
Banana (saba)
Sugar
Water (to lock the wrapper) some people use eggs I think.
Peel your banana first like how he peeled your heart, just kidding. Then cut it into 3 slices,like in the photo.
Then prepare your wrapper, for this I used 2 wrappers to make sure the banana is wrapped. It is better to be sure than not to be sure 😏. Then put some sugar and put the banana around the centre. Then roll it up! Then brush some water at the end of the wrapper then lock it.
That is how easy it is to make, it's like you are just counting like 1, 2, 3!
And the last step is to fry it up! Heat first your frying pan and add enough oil and wait until the oil becomes hot, hotter than me, just kidding. And when the oil is already hot put the turon and fry it until the wrapper looks crispy or golden brown. Remove the turon from the pan and cool it down before eating, don't be excited or else your tongue will get burned.
And now the exciting part! Here it is the finish product! Omg I'm already getting hungry. It's time to eat!
