Notes
- The total yield depends on how much filling you put in your turon. The estimated nutrition information is based on 20 turon.
- Careful not to overfill your turon. I only place about 2 heaping tablespoons of ube jam and 2 small slices of cheese. If you overfill the turon, the filling might ooze out during cooking.
- Also avoid overcooking. Remember that the filling is already cooked. Once the wrapper turns a nice golden brown, take it out.
- For best results, don’t overcrowd your pan when frying.
- See post for more tips, FAQs and step-by-step photos on how to fold turon.
