one filipino dish a week

Turon
We had a few leftover ingredients so I decided to make some more mirienda delights. First up is turon. Turon is basically a banana spring roll.

To make coat the plantain with brown sugar, top it off with slices of jackfruit and roll up in a spring roll wrapper. Deep fry and voila an amazing snack. At some point in the future I would like to make my own spring roll wrapper. Anyone one out there know how to make it?

Camote Chips

Camote chips are one of those treats that I used to love as a kid. The sweetness of the camote just does it for me. The funny thing about this is that camote is known to give the people who eat it gas.

This is how I made it: thinly slice the camote. Having a mandolin would really help in this process to give you uniformly thin slices. I just used my trusty knife since I have not had a chance to go get a madolin yet. Heat up oil to 350-375 degrees F. Slide the pieces of camote on the side of the wok to avoid splattering.

Take them out when they are golden brown. Let them sit in a wire rack to cool down a little.

Sprinkle some sea salt, plate it up and serve! Delicious!
