Lumpia - aka Filipino egg rolls

[chisoxjim]

Got hooked on these at the many Filipino parties I go to.

Crisp, poppin with flavor egg rolls to eat by the dozen

Ingredients:

- 1 cup fresh shrimp, shelled & deveined pulsed in the food processor
- 1 lb. ground pork
- 1/4 cup minced onion
- 1/2 cup minced carrot
- 2 eggs
- 3 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- black pepper to taste

tools:

- 2 eggs beaten to seal lumpia
- lumpia or spring roll wrappers
- canola oil
- wok

I combined the lumpia ingredients in a bowl and mixed by hand. I then covered the bowl in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for a few hours to let the flavors come together.

When I was ready to go I heated a few inches of canola oil in the wok, and started assembling the lumpia.

I would lay a sheet of the lumpia wrapper with a corner facing me, then put down about a 2.5 tbsp of the filling, spreading it out a little. I woudl fld up the corner, then make an envelope folding in the sides. I would roll the lumpia applying the egg wash before sealing.

These were deep fried about 3 minutes, or until they floated. Served with a thai sweet chili oil they were fantastic.

Awesome Job and thanks for the recipe

[chisoxjim]

thanks folks.

spring roll wrappers will work as well. I had to search around the asian market and found lumpia wrappers in the freezer.

[Whisky Fish]

Love these Jim. thanx!

[PitRow]

we have a HUGE asian market not too far from my work, it used to be a Montgomery Ward department store, probably close to 30,000 sq ft. if any place around here'll have 'em they will!

[chisoxjim]

had a craving for another batch, wife thought these were better, I thought they were really good.

Very few differences, ran low on dark soy sauce so used 1 tbsp dark soy and 2 tbsp light soy, no major difference other than the color of the filling. Also got the onions and carrots minced down smaller. Lastly used some round lumpis wrappers, last time was square. No major difference there.

Looks interesting. Yep, lots of variations of lumpia out there...kinda depends on which of the 7104 islands your asawa comes from.
