Turon or banana spring roll is a popular dessert or “afternoon snack” in the Philippines. It is made of sliced bananas, dusted with brown sugar, rolled in a spring roll wrapper and fried. Preferably, saba which is a type of banana locally grown in the Philippines, but a regular banana can be used as well. However the best substitute is to use plantain but making sure that it is very ripe for maximum sweetness. All these ingredients are available in any local grocery or any Asian store.
