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 (DEEP-FRIED PORK SPRING ROLLS)

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the pork with the onion, carrot, garlic, salt, and pepper and mix with your hands until evenly combined. Position 1 spring roll wrapper in front of you like a diamond (so that a point is facing you), and place 1 tablespoon of filling on the diamond's bottom half. Lift the point nearest you and wrap it around the filling. Fold the left and right corners in toward the center, brush the top tip with some of the beaten egg, and continue rolling into a tight cylinder. Transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
• Make the dipping sauce: In a small jar, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, peppercorns, garlic, and chiles. Shake to mix.
• Pour oil to a depth of 2 inches in a 6-quart Dutch oven, attach a deep-fry thermometer to the side of the pan, and heat to 350°. Working in batches, add the spring rolls to the oil and fry until golden brown and the filling is cooked, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the lumpia to paper towels to drain. Season with salt and serve while hot with the garlic-chile vinegar sauce.

FILIPINO LUMPIA

• 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!

PORK LUMPIA

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic until onion is browned and softened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon mixture into a bowl.
• Saute ground pork in the same skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add back the sauteed onion and garlic; mix thoroughly. Pour mixture into a large bowl; add mixed vegetables, green beans, cabbage, and celery. Mix thoroughly; let filling cool for 10 minutes.
• Wrap 1 to 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture in a lumpia wrapper. Repeat until all the filling or wrappers are finished.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry as many lumpia as desired in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes per batch.

LUMPIA (FILIPINO EGG ROLL)

Steps:

• Brown beef and pork, until almost completely cooked. Drain fat. Cool and process in food processor or chop up into fine pieces (like Taco Bell taco meat or a little coarser) with fork.
• Combine meats, vegetables, egg, sauces, pepper in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour for flavors to set inches I like to prepare my filling the day before so it can marinate all night.
• Prepare wrapper (by separating) and place on a separate plate. Place 1 to 2 T of filling in the center of the wrapper.
• Fold left edge over all the way, then bring down top and bottom, then roll the rest of the way to the right, making a roll. hard to explain without a picture, but you'll figure it out -- looks like an egg roll when done, only thinner and longer. Seal with with flour and water mixture.
• After you have assembled all the lumpia, heat your oil (I use the deep fryer) to 375 degrees. Cook until golden brown, turning often, approximately 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Serve with sweet and sour sauce.
• Note: the wrapper packages usually have instructions for rolling the wrap. Times vary by experience and methods used.
