Turon

Banana wrapped in sweet shanghai wrapper, rolled in brown sugar, and deep fried in boiling cooking oil, is more commonly known as turon.

Filipinos have a natural sweet tooth which leads us not to wonder why they love the turon so much. It is a common and cheap street food sold alongside banana cue, okoy and karioka.

Not only that it is easy to find, but also easy to prepare. The ingredients you’ll need are bananas, or specifically saging na saba, lumpia wrappers, brown sugar, jackfruit (optional) and oil for deep-frying.

Peel and slice the banana in four, lengthwise. Dip the sliced bananas in water then roll them in brown sugar. Line a sugar-coated banana and sliced jackfruit (optional) on a lumpia wrapper. Roll and damp the end of the wrapper to prevent it from opening. You may wish to roll the wrapped banana in brown sugar to add crunchiness and sweetness to the turon. After doing so, deep fry the wrapped banana in boiling cooking oil until golden brown. Remove from the pan and place on a banana leaf or a plate to cool.

You may now enjoy your mouth-watering, sweet and crunchy turon.
