Time 1h30m

Yield 75

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound ground pork
1 cup finely chopped raw shrimp
½ cup finely chopped onion
½ cup grated carrots
¼ cup finely chopped green onions
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon monosodium glutamate (MSG)
1 (16 ounce) package spring roll wrappers
1 egg white, beaten
1 quart vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Mix the ground pork, shrimp, onion, carrots, green onions, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and MSG in a bowl until well combined.
  • Pull a wrapper off the stack, and cover the remaining wrappers with a damp cloth. Place the wrapper on a work surface. Place a thin line, about the width of your little finger, across one side of the wrapper, 1/2 inch from the edge of the wrapper. Roll the wrapper tightly around the filling, and seal the edges with egg white. Repeat making rolls with the remaining wrappers and filling, and cut the rolls into thirds.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy pan or deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Deep-fry 3 or 4 lumpia at a time, turning once, until the rolls float and turn golden brown, about 3 minutes. Serve hot.

Yield 15 lumpia

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 lb lean ground pork
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, sliced
1/2 lb green beans, julienned
2 carrots, julienned
1 tbsp soy sauce (optional)
1 cup bean sprouts (optional)
15 lumpia wrappers, square or round
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil in skillet and saute garlic and onions until tender. Add pork and saute until browned. Add vegetables and cook until tender, yet crisp, about 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat. Season with soy sauce. When mixture is cool, add bean sprouts. Salt to taste. To assemble lumpia: Carefully separate wrappers. To prevent them from drying out, cover unused wrappers with moist paper towel. Lay one wrapper on clean surface. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling near the edge closest to you. Roll edge towards the middle. Fold in both sides and continue rolling. Moisten opposite edge with water to seal. Repeat with other wrappers. Lumpia can be frozen until ready to use. Deep fry at 350 degrees until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with sweet sour or vinegar and garlic dipping sauce (recipes below).

Tips:

  • For the lumpia wrappers, use spring roll wrappers or wonton wrappers.
  • To prevent the lumpia from becoming soggy, fry them until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the lumpia with a dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or fish sauce.
  • To make the lumpia ahead of time, fry them until they are golden brown and crispy. Then, let them cool completely and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • When you are ready to serve the lumpia, reheat them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until they are warmed through.
