PLANTAIN EGG ROLLS (TURON)
This is a Filipino dessert that has been my favorite since I was a child. Crispy, sugary shells with soft and warm plantains inside. They are a breeze to make when you have everything set up in advance. They can be frozen in bulk and fried without any defrosting.

Steps:
- Fill a medium pot halfway with canola oil. Heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 375°F (190°C).
- Peel the plantain and cut lengthwise into 3 pieces.
- Dip the plantain pieces in the brown sugar to coat evenly on all sides.
- Set a spring roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond orientation. Place a plantain strip horizontally across the center of the wrapper and top with a few slices of jackfruit, if using.

Tips:
- For a crispier turon, double wrap the spring roll with the lumpia wrapper.
- Use ripe plantains as they are sweeter and have a softer texture.
- If the lumpia wrapper is too dry, you can brush it with a little water to help it seal.
- Be careful when frying the turon as it can splatter hot oil.
- Serve the turon hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, or honey.
