Equipment
- rice cooker
Ingredients
- 2 cups glutinous rice
- 2 ½ cups coconut milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 pandan leaf, knotted (optional)
- 24 spring roll wrappers
- 1 cup sweetened jackfruit strips
- 1 cup sugar
- canola oil
Instructions
- In a bowl, rinse glutinous rice 2 to 3 times or until water runs clear. Drain well using a fine-mesh sieve.
- In the rice cooker insert, combine rice, coconut milk, and salt. Stir to distribute. Place pandan leaf in the rice, if using.
- Cook in the rice cooker. When the rice cooker beeps, allow to stand, covered, for about 5 minutes.
- Remove pandan leaf from the cooked rice and discard. With a fork, gently fluff rice to separate grains and allow to cool completely.
- Separate wrappers into individual sheets. On a flat working surface, lay the wrapper like a diamond.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of cooked sticky rice in the middle of the wrapper and top with 2 to 3 jackfruit strips.
- Fold the bottom pointed end of the wrapper over the filling. Fold the side ends of the sheet inward and roll tightly into a log. Wet the pointed edge of the wrapper with a dab of water to completely seal. Repeat with the remaining rice mixture
- In a shallow plate, roll turon in sugar to fully coat.
- In a skillet over medium heat, heat about 2 inches deep of oil. Add spring rolls seam side down and fry, turning once or twice, for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and sugar is caramelized.
- Using tongs, remove turon from the pan and drain on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Serve immediately.

Notes
- Cool the cooked malagkit completely and drain the jackfruit well as the escaping steam and excess liquid might tear the wrappers.
- Cover the lumpia wrappers with a damp cloth while wrapping to prevent them from drying out.
