Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1. 1

   Lay a lumpia wrapper on a clean, dry surface with one corner pointing towards you.

2. 2

   Place one or two slices of saba banana near the bottom corner of the wrapper.

3. 3

   If using, add a few thin strips of jackfruit on top of the banana slices.

4. 4

   Sprinkle about a tablespoon of brown sugar over the banana and jackfruit.

5. 5

   Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the side corners.

6. 6

   Roll the wrapper tightly upwards towards the remaining corner to form a compact log.

   Nota bucătarului: You can dab the top corner with a little water to seal it if needed, though usually not necessary.

7. 7

   Repeat this process for the remaining bananas and wrappers.

   Aproximativ 5 min.

8. 8

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium heat until hot, about 175°C (350°F).

   Aproximativ 3 min.

   Nota bucătarului: The oil should be hot enough to make the turon sizzle immediately when added.

9. 9

   Carefully place a few turon rolls into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

10. 10

    Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the sugar has caramelized, creating a crisp coating.

    Aproximativ 6 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Watch closely as the sugar can burn quickly.

11. 11

    Remove the fried turon from the oil and place them on a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

12. 12

    Serve immediately while warm and crispy.
