Have a Break and Eat your Turon, the Popular Filipino Food eaten during Snack Times

We, Filipinos, are known for our core values such as hospitability, kindness, and respect to elders and family. But aside from those, we are also happy eaters. In this country, the majority of people eat five times a day. We eat breakfast, lunch, supper, and have snacks in-between meals.

One of the Filipino foods most eaten during snack times is the turon. For those who don’t know what a turon is, it is made from fried cardaba bananas (also known as saba bananas) and typically with a slice of jackfruit. It is also known as “banana lumpia”.


So if you’re already bored doing your work on your desk, have a break first and prepare this simple Filipino food for your snack.

Ingredients:
  • 15 pieces cardaba bananas (peeled and cut into two lengthwise)
  • ½ cup shredded jackfruit
  • 15 pieces lumpia wrapper
  • ½ kilo brown sugar
  • ½ liter cooking oil
Here’s your cooking procedure for your delicious Turon snack:

1) Separate each lumpia wrapper. Lay down each of the wrappers and put two bananas in the middle of each wrapper

2) Put 1 tbsp of jackfruit and a tbsp of brown sugar in the middle of the two pieces of cut bananas.

3) Gently wrap your lumpia wrapper into shape of egg rolls.

4) Heat the cooking oil in a large frying pan.

5) Fry the wrapped bananas then add the brown sugar to have them caramelized on the oil the surface of the turon. Gently flip your bananas to have the caramel evenly spread on your turon. Fry your turon until golden brown.

After the five simple steps above, you may now remove the turon and place them on wax paper for a couple of minutes. Have a break now and enjoy the Filipino way of having snacks.
