Today we are leveling up another classic FIlipino snack and we can’t wait for you to munch on it as quickly as we did! Turon is a popular Pinoy snack among kids and adults here in the Philippines. Also called as deep-fried banana rolls or banana lumpia, Turon has no doubt served its purpose as a reliable sweet fix for when we need or want one. Often seen as a snack which you can actually buy from the streets, Turon is also available in FIlipino restaurants as a dessert option usually served with ice cream on the side which is commonly called as Turon ala Mode.
As much as we love Turon and its cooling and refreshing version, Turon ala Mode; for today, we have decided to go the other direction and serve you another Turon goodness – this time one that has a kick but won’t get you knocked down. Do you get what we mean? Well, if you don’t, don’t you go crazy understanding our riddles. Kidding! Today, we went for Banana Rhum-A Turon and this one is actually yet another popular play on Turon because apparently, most students in U-Belt love getting this from a food spot in the area called Mang Tootz.
Anyway, as we are once again feeling experimental in the kitchen, we have decided to try our hand on this popular version of Turon. We made ours by slicing saba bananas into small pieces, wrapping it in lumpia wrapper, frying it until golden brown, and lathering it in a mixture we made with butter, cinnamon powder, rhum, pineapple juice, banana flavor, brown sugar, and banana essence, together with some langka pieces we also sliced beforehand. After making sure each and every turon piece was covered with this mixture, we then drizzled it with some sesame seeds for extra flavor and texture.
Just so you know, this Banana Rhum-A Turon Recipe of ours is the bomb! This may be our first time making it but we absolutely are giving ourselves credit for making this as spectacular and delicious, nonetheless. This was a success, to say the least; and truly, we will be making this again! The blend of flavors, particularly the sweetness and the kick of the rhum, plus the textures which are soft and crunchy, are just downright amazing that a single bite of it has snatched our hearts right away!
With that, if you want to try out this recipe too but you don’t know where and how to start, then lucky you, because once again, we got you! Below you will find all the ingredients we have used and the steps we have made in order to end up with this delectable Banana Rhum-A Turon Recipe.
