Fruits and Veggies Monday
Its another blessed Monday again my friends, and that means its time for #fruitsandveggiesmonday initiated by a inspirational steemian @lenasveganliving.
Today, I am going to show you one of the famous snack in the Philippines. It is actually a traditional snacks love by many. We called it Turon, you may call it Banana spring roll in English : )
What is Turon?
- Its a sliced banana dust with brown sugar. Rolled in spring roll wrapper, then fried. In the Philippines, we used certain types of banana which is Cardava or Saba banana. This type of banana is really used for cooking and is the most nutritious banana more than the other types. Sometimes, we just boiled cardava banana as a snack, and Oh boy! once you tasted boiled cardava banana you will come back for more, seems strange but no joke :D it taste heavenly delicious!
Cardava or Saba Banana from Philippines
In this recipe, i will be using a Banana plantain from India, as the cardava banana in my place is rare to find. The taste is almost the same too.
Ingredients:
- Banana plantain (4 pieces), or cardava banana if available
- spring roll wrappers
- brown sugar (3 tbspn or more)
- water
- vegetable oil
Preparations:
- sliced the banana in lengthwise.
- dust with brown sugar.
- lay the banana over at the center of your spring roll wrapper.
- fold, then fold again on both sides.fold it again once more to seal the sides.
- sealed it with water using your finger tips.
- fry in a medium heat until it turns brown.
So easy and delicious, It has a sweet savoury taste. It brings me back my childhood days. Now, its an all time favorite of my husband @mr-neil.

Your husband looks like he could've vanished with that entire plate before you finished taking the photos @sherylneil. I love the cross cultural cuisine.
haha, Right, so i quickly grab the plate from him before all that spring roll vanished.
Thank you for droping.
Blessings!
These look perfect for a sweet tooth such as mine. Are they traditionally made with only plant based ingredients? Where do you get the spring roll wrappers as well? I’d love to try and recreate this recipe. Thanks for sharing @sherylneil. ✌️
Hello @puravidaville. Thank you for the comment.
Yes, this is a plant based dish and a traditional snack from the Philippines. I used a banana plantain, but you can alter the recipe the way you want, For the spring roll wrappers/sheets, you can buy it in an asian store near you or you can make it with just flour, water and salt.
Please let me know how it goes. Thank you.
I will definitely keep you apprised of how this dish turns out for me. I love trying new things in the kitchen. I guess it’s time to hit one of our local Asian markets :). Thanks again for sharing!
