How To: Fry Banana and Jackfruit Turon Rolls

This turon (banana lumpia) is one of my favorite meriendas (light meals), and it's so easy to make, even a child can do it! It's a must try, especially if you can't think about something to cook. So, for all the diehard banana fans, this is for you.

Warning

• Applicable to plantain or Saba varieties only.

Ingredients

• Cooking oil

• Rice flour wrapper (lumpia wrapper)
• 1 egg
• Sugar

Preparation

Step 1 Peel and slice bananas

Peel off and slice the bananas in half.

Step 2 Slice jackfruit into strips

Remove the seeds from the jackfruit meat. Do not throw them away—you could still boil or roast them as nuts. They are edible and delicious. Slice the jackfruit meat into strips.

Step 3 Prepare the lumpia wrapper

Separate the rice flour wrappers from each other.

Step 4 Prepare the sealant

Beat the egg in a small bowl.

Step 5 Wrap

• Put 1 slice of banana on the rice flour wrapper, and add some strips of jackfruit meat.

• Roll the wrapper around the banana to finish wrapping.

• Seal the edges using the beaten egg as an adhesive.

Step 6 Roll

Roll the wrapped banana in sugar.

Step 7 Fry

Fry the "turon" on medium heat. Cook until the wrapper turns golden brown in color.

Step 8 Drain

Drain to remove the excess oil and serve hot or cold.

Tips

• This snack can be served with hot or cold beverages.
• This can easily be mass produced for extra income.
