The (Mis)Adventures of Superboink

I tried experimenting with Minatamis na Saba - slightly improving the gooey texture it renders when it's kept for sometime in the fridge. This version may come off a bit too sweet at first, but once you chew on the saba, the acidity of the lemon will balance it out.

Our summers are never complete without banana-Q's, halo-halo and turon . My FIL would send us freshly harvested saba bananas to take home from their place. I'd make a variety of snacks and dishes from the hands of bananas we have and so far, turon is the family's summer favorite this year. Turon (Saba Banana Spring Rolls) Ingredients: Saba bananas, peeled (halved lengthwise if it's too thick) Lumpia wrappers Brown sugar Jackfruit slices/slivers (Langka) or Cheese slices *optional Cinnamon powder *optional water for sealing the wrapper edges How to do it: Roll the bananas into the brown sugar. Sprinkle with cinnamon powder generously then with a slice of jackfruit (or cheese), cover with the lumpia wrapper. Seal the edges with water. Deep-fry over medium to high heat until the wrapper is golden brown and crispy. You may serve it with ice cream like what I usually do! =D :: :: :: Like this post?
