How to make Turon
1
Prepare
Roll each banana piece in brown sugar.
2
Wrap
Place banana and a few jackfruit strips on a wrapper. Fold in the sides, roll tightly, and seal.
3
Heat the oil
Heat 4–5 cm of oil to 170°C (340°F).
4
Caramelize and fry
Add 2 tablespoons brown sugar to the oil. When it begins to melt, fry turon in batches, turning until golden and coated, 4–5 minutes.
5
Cool briefly
Drain on a rack for several minutes before serving.
Maria’s tip: Use ripe but firm saba so the filling holds its shape.
Food safety: Caramelized sugar is extremely hot; let turon cool before taking a bite.
