Yaya's Turon

I love Turon...when my yaya makes it.

She layers banana slices with jackfruit and mascovado sugar and wraps them in China or Vietnam-made rice paper. (The imported rice paper remains crunchy even the next day, not like the local lumpia wrapper which becomes soggy).

These are deep-fried until golden brown.

Then drizzled with soft-ball stage syrup made from brown sugar. The result is crunchy and chewy at the same time.
