Reid’s mum’s turon

Ingredients:

• 6 pieces bananas, saba or plantains, cut in half (lengthwise)

• 1/2 cup brown sugar

• 12 pieces lumpia wrapper

• 1 ripe jackfruit (optional)

• 2 cups cooking oil

• 2 tbsp water

Method

• Roll the banana on the sugar plate and ensure it’s coated with enough sugar.

• Place the banana with sugar coating on the lumpia wrapper. Add a slice of ripe jackfruit on top.

• Fold and lock the spring roll wrapper, use water to seal the edge.

• In a pan, heat oil and put in the wrapped banana and fry until the wrapper turns golden brown.

• Serve hot and enjoy.

My sister doesn’t like jackfruit but I don’t mind it. I love turon as it’s not too sweet, plus it’s crunchy outside and soft inside – Reid
