Beef Shrimp Lumpia Recipes

VEGETABLE AND SHRIMP LUMPIA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the sweet chili sauce: In a small pot over medium heat, mix together ½ cup (120 ml) of water, the garlic, Fresno chilies, sugar, rice vinegar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and remaining tablespoon of water.
• Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the sauce until fully incorporated. Continue to simmer for 1 minute, or until the mixture has thickened. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Make the lumpia: Julienne the carrots. Cut the green beans on the diagonal.
• In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes or until slightly tender.
• Add the garlic and ginger, and continue cooking for 2 minutes more, until fragrant.
• Add the carrots and green beans, and toss to combine. Add the shrimp, fish sauce, salt, pepper, and rice vinegar, and cook for 2 minutes or until shrimp is pink.
• Add the bean sprouts, toss to incorporate, and remove the pan from the heat.
• Lay out a lumpia wrapper in a diamond shape and spoon 2 tablespoons of filling onto the bottom of the wrapper, leaving about 1½ inches (4 cm) of space from the bottom point.
• Fold the bottom point over the filling, then fold in the edges to create an envelope shape. Roll the wrapper toward the top point. Brush the top point with egg wash and finish the roll to seal the end. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
• In a large, deep skillet, heat 1 inch (2.5 cm) of canola oil to 300°F (150°C).
• Carefully add 4-5 lumpia at a time to the hot oil. Fry on each side for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Note: If the lumpia are cooking too quickly or burning, reduce the heat. Remove the lumpia from the oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
• Garnish with cilantro and serve with the sweet chili sauce.
• Enjoy!

LUMPIA - FILIPINO SHRIMP AND PORK EGG ROLLS

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.

BEEF & SHRIMP LUMPIA

Steps:

• 1. Mix all ingredients to make the filling, shouldn't be wet. 2. Cook a tester and adjust seasoning. 3. Lightly thaw lumpia wrappers (they are easier to work with if they are slightly frozen). Separate lumpia wrappers. Keep a damp paper towel over wrappers. 4. Fill wrappers using about 2 dinner forks or so of filling. 5. Roll lumpia in a long tube tightly, evening out meat filling as you go. Seal with flour paste. 6. If not frying that day, par-freeze overnight, then package in the freezer for storage. 7. If frying that day, chill for a bit and then cut each roll into thirds. 8. If frozen, fry straight from freezer, cut into thirds before frying.

FILIPINO LUMPIA

Steps:

• Make sure the lumpia wrappers are completely thawed. Lay several out on a clean dry surface and cover with a damp towel. The wrappers are very thin and the edges will dry out quickly.
• In a medium bowl, blend together the ground beef and pork, onion, green pepper and carrot. Place about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture along the center of the wrapper. The filling should be no bigger around than your thumb or the wrapper will burn before the meat is cooked. Fold one edge of the wrapper over to the other. Fold the outer edges in slightly, then continue to roll into a cylinder. Wet your finger, and moisten the edge to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling, keeping finished lumpias covered to prevent drying. This is a good time to recruit a friend or loved one to make the job less repetitive!!
• Heat oil in a 9 inch skillet at medium to medium high heat until oil is 365 to 375 degrees F (170 to 175 degrees C) Fry 3-4 lumpia at a time. It should only take about 2-3 minutes for each side. The lumpia will be nicely browned when done. Drain on paper towels.
• You can cut each lumpia into thirds for parties, if you like. In the Philippines, lumpia was eaten with banana ketchup, but I've never seen it sold in America.

LUMPIA (SHANGHAI VERSION)

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

• Roll tightly halfway then fold in both sides, continue rolling toward other.
• tip. Moisten corner edges with egg or water to seal. Place on large tray. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers. (May be covered and refrigerated for 1 day or frozen up to 1 week at this point.).
