Cooking Procedures :

1. Cut banana in half, and cut each half into 3 pieces. Roll slightly each banana piece in sugar.

2. Place coated bananas on top of each lumpia wrapper (this will depend to your liking on how many pieces of banana slices for each wrapper), spread with chopped langka (jackfruit), carefully wrap and roll into shape of egg roll. Seal the ends with water or egg white.

3. Fry in deep medium-high oil. Sprinkle 1/8 teaspoon of sugar over your turon. This will caramelize and stick to your turon. Flip your turon to coat evenly with caramelized sugar. Fry until golden brown and crisp.

4. Remove from pan and set over wax paper for a couple of minutes and then enjoy!

Variations
Sesame seeds (if desired) maybe sprinkled while turon is still hot and the sugar has not set.

Maybe served with ice cream for dessert or just as is for snack!
