Many years ago, when we lived in San Diego the first time, a friend of ours from the Philippines gave me her recipe for lumpia. When Evelyn made it, it would melt in your mouth. I've yet to master that experience with my lumpia, but it's coming along. This is the best recipe by far - and the only ones my family will eat. Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 (20 count) package lumpia skins (or egg roll wrappers)
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
1 cup green onion, minced
1 cup carrot, minced
1 cup celery, minced (same as above)
1 egg, beaten
4 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup water

Steps:

Brown beef and pork, until almost completely cooked. Drain fat. Cool and process in food processor or chop up into fine pieces (like Taco Bell taco meat or a little coarser) with fork.
Combine meats, vegetables, egg, sauces, pepper in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour for flavors to set inches I like to prepare my filling the day before so it can marinate all night.
Prepare wrapper (by separating) and place on a separate plate. Place 1 to 2 T of filling in the center of the wrapper.
Fold left edge over all the way, then bring down top and bottom, then roll the rest of the way to the right, making a roll. hard to explain without a picture, but you'll figure it out -- looks like an egg roll when done, only thinner and longer. Seal with with flour and water mixture.
After you have assembled all the lumpia, heat your oil (I use the deep fryer) to 375 degrees. Cook until golden brown, turning often, approximately 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Serve with sweet and sour sauce.
Note: the wrapper packages usually have instructions for rolling the wrap. Times vary by experience and methods used.

Tips:

Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything while cooking.
Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your lumpia a better flavor and texture. If possible, use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices.
Don't overfill the lumpia: When filling the lumpia, don't overfill them. This will make them difficult to roll and seal, and they may burst while frying.
Fry the lumpia in hot oil: When frying the lumpia, make sure the oil is hot enough. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
Serve the lumpia with a dipping sauce: Lumpia is traditionally served with a dipping sauce. You can use a sweet and sour sauce, a soy sauce-based sauce, or a spicy sauce.
