TRADITIONAL FILIPINO LUMPIA

Steps:

• Place a wok or large skillet over high heat, and pour in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Cook pork, stirring frequently, until no pink is showing. Remove pork from pan and set aside. Drain grease from pan, leaving a thin coating. Cook garlic and onion in the same pan for 2 minutes. Stir in the cooked pork, carrots, green onions, and cabbage. Season with pepper, salt, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Remove from heat, and set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Place three heaping tablespoons of the filling diagonally near one corner of each wrapper, leaving a 1 1/2 inch space at both ends. Fold the side along the length of the filling over the filling, tuck in both ends, and roll neatly. Keep the roll tight as you assemble. Moisten the other side of the wrapper with water to seal the edge. Cover the rolls with plastic wrap to retain moisture.
• Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat, add oil to 1/2 inch depth, and heat for 5 minutes. Slide 3 or 4 lumpia into the oil. Fry the rolls for 1 to 2 minutes, until all sides are golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

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.

FILIPINO LUMPIA

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in frying pan, throw in Carrots, Onion, and Bean Sprouts, cook on med. for about 5 - 10 minutes, don't let mixture burn. Remove from heat, drain off excess oil.
• Now cook your Sausage in pan untill all brown, don't over cook. Remove from heat let cool.
• Mix veggie mixture, and meat together in large bowl, add soy sauce and Garlic powder, mix very well.
• Now to assemble --
• First off, you need to keep the lumpia wrappers moist, not sopping wet, just don't let them dry out, they get very brittle. We like to use a spray bottle just for this.
• Lay out your wrapper, use about 2 good sized tablespoons of the mixture, place at one end with about 1 inch from the end. spread out in an even line, but not all the way to the sides, you will need to roll those inches.
• Now that you have that done, start rolling untill you get near the middle, then fold in the sides, and finish rolling, use a little egg wash to seal.
• Now to cook the whole thing --
• Deep fry for about 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown, at about 350. Pull out of oil, and let dry on paper towels. serve.
• Enjoy!
