Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe plantains
- 1 cup canned jackfruit
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 12 sheets spring roll wrappers
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the ripe plantains and slice them in half lengthwise, then slice each half again making four long strips from each plantain.
Step 2
Drain the canned jackfruit and slice into thin strips similar to the size of the plantains.
Step 3
Lay one spring roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner facing you (diamond shape).
Step 4
Place one strip of plantain and a few jackfruit slices on the wrapper closer to the corner nearest you. Sprinkle about 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of brown sugar over the fruit.
Step 5
Fold the corner near you over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly but gently to ensure the filling is enclosed. Seal the final corner with a dab of water to keep the wrapper in place.
Step 6
Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients to make all the turon.
Step 7
In a deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 8
Carefully place a few turon in the hot oil without overcrowding the pan, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes on each side.
Step 9
Remove the fried turon from the skillet and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 10
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low sodium classic Filipino turon as a sweet and delightful treat!
