Plantain Egg Rolls (Turon) image

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.

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup white sugar
¼ cup water
20 spring roll wrappers
5 plantains, peeled and quartered
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 ½ cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Put sugar and water in separate bowls. Separate spring roll wrappers; stack. Peel plantains; cut in half and then half again lengthwise.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my egg rolls were soggy and oily.

These were bland and flavorless. I won't be making them again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my egg rolls fell apart when I tried to fry them.

I had a hard time finding plantain wrappers, so I ended up using egg roll wrappers instead. They still turned out great.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall they were still good.

The tamarind dipping sauce is a must-try! It really takes these egg rolls to the next level.

These were easy to make and turned out great! I used wonton wrappers instead of spring roll wrappers and they worked perfectly.

These plantain egg rolls were a hit at my party! They were crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. I loved the combination of sweet and savory flavors.
