Plantain Egg Rolls Turon Food

TURON

Steps:

• Defrost the spring roll shells in the package on the countertop for 30 minutes. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and set aside.
• Trim both ends of each plantain and do not remove the skin. Cut each plantain in half across and then cut lengthwise into 3 planks. Peel the plantain pieces.
• Drain the jackfruit and reserve the syrup in a small bowl. Cut each piece of jackfruit into 1/2-inch wide strips.
• To assemble the turon, lay the wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing towards you (it should resemble a diamond). Place one slice of plantain horizontally about 2 inches from the lower corner and top with 2 strips of jackfruit. Fold the nearest corner of the wrapper over the plantain and jackfruit tautly and roll twice over. Fold in the left and right corners and continue to roll upwards until about 1 inch of wrapper remains. Dip your finger into the reserved jackfruit syrup to moisten the top corner and seal. Repeat with the remaining fruit and wrappers. Reserve the syrup.
• Fill a medium saucepan with 2 inches of oil. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Dip each turon into the jackfruit syrup, allowing any excess to drip off and carefully place into the oil. Fry, turning occasionally, in batches of 6 at a time until deep golden brown and crisp all over, about 3 minutes per side. Place the turon on the wire rack and let cool. Repeat with remaining turon and serve hot.

• 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. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper up and over the plantain, then fold in the sides. Brush the exposed edge with egg white, then roll to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and plantains.
• Add the wrapped plantains to the hot oil and fry, flipping once, until the wrappers turn golden brown, 1-2 minutes total.
