Back in the late 70s I first went to the Philippines and lumpia was the snack of choice in the clubs. If you have ever been somewhere that likes to put eight lanes of traffic in four lanes of rode and you can close your eyes and get that smell of cut grass and burned gas…aha it brings back lots of memories that I would still get in trouble for sharing even after almost 40 years. Read more . If you can find them lumpia wrappers work better then wanton or spring roll wrappers. But it still brings to mind Jitneys, blaring horns, heat, dust, noise, laughter, people hawking everything that you could ever and never want. Enjoy. Ingredients:
1 pound ground pork |
1 pound ground beef |
1 medium onion, finely chopped |
1 carrot, grated |
1/4 cup soy sauce |
2 1/2 teaspoons black pepper |
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder |
1 (16 ounce) package spring roll wrappers (lumpia wrappers) |
1 1/2 quarts oil for frying |
Directions:
1. 1. In a Large bowl, combine ground pork, ground beef, onion, and carrot. Make sure to completely mix everything. I suggest getting down and dirty and use your hands. Knead the meat in the bowl if you must. Gradually blend in the soy sauce , black pepper, garlic powder, and salt until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. 2. Lay out a few wrappers at a time on a flat surface, and place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in a line down the center of the wrapper. Make sure the filling is no thicker than your thumb, or the wrapper will cook faster than the meat. Take the bottom and top edges of the wrapper and fold them towards the center. Take the left and right sides, and fold them towards the center. Moisten the last edge of the wrapper to seal. Now repeat using the rest of the wrappers, and have hubby or the kids help you out.
3. 3. Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or heavy skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry 3 or 4 lumpia at a time. Fry for about 3 or 4 minutes, turning once. Lumpia are cooked through when they float, and the wrapper is golden brown. Cut in half, or serve as is with dipping sauce. We like sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce with lemon, or banana ketchup.
