LUMPIA SHANGHAI (CRISPY FILIPINO SPRING ROLLS)

Steps:

• Defrost and un-peel spring roll wrappers. Cover the peeled wrappers with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
• Combine all filling ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. Take ¼ teaspoon of the mixture and cook in the microwave for about ten to 15 seconds. Taste this piece to make sure your filling is properly seasoned. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
• Place one spring roll wrapper on the surface. Add three tablespoons of filling and form it into a horizontal long along the bottom half of your spring roll wrapper. Leave about half to one inch of space from the edge to the filling.
• Use your hands to form the filling into a log shape.
• Take the bottom edge of the wrapper and fold it over the filling tightly. Continue to roll the wrapper upwards making a tight log.
• At about two inches from the top, add a small amount of egg wash to the top edge of the wrapper.
• Finish rolling it upwards and seal the roll tightly.
• Using scissors or a knife, cut the roll into three pieces, about three inches long each.
• In a heavy bottomed pot, add about two inches of oil and heat to 375 °F.
• Carefully add the rolled lumpias into the oil and cook for about three to four minutes each batch. They should come out golden brown in color with a crispy outside layer. Using a thermometer, they should measure at least 165 °F for doneness.
• Remove them from the oil and place on a paper towel and rack to remove excess oil.
• Serve as soon as possible with a side of steamed rice and a sweet and sour dipping sauce.
