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.

LUMPIA (LUMPIANG SHANGHAI) RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Add the carrots, onion, and water chestnuts to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the vegetables are finely chopped, but not ground into a paste.
• Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl with the ground pork, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, Knorr seasoning, sugar, black pepper, and egg. Stir with a fork until well combined; do not overmix. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Gently separate the lumpia wrappers from one another and cover with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.
• Add the flour and water to a small bowl and whisk to combine, making sure there are no lumps.
• Assemble the lumpia: Scoop 5 tablespoons (52 grams) of the filling onto the center of a lumpia wrapper and shape into a horizontal line, all the way across the wrapper. Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling and start to roll tightly. Brush the flour paste on the top edge of the wrapper, then continue rolling to seal. Transfer to a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
• Cut each lumpia crosswise into 4 equal pieces.
• If desired, arrange the lumpia in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure they are not touching each other. Freeze until solid, 2-3 hours, then transfer to an airtight container. The lumpia will keep in the freezer for 3-4 weeks.
• When ready to fry, pour 1 inch of canola oil into a large pot and heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 375°F (190°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels and set a wire rack on top.
• Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, add the lumpia to the hot oil and fry for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to the wire rack to drain and repeat with the remaining lumpia, allowing the oil to return to temperature between batches.
• Serve the lumpia with your favorite sauce for dipping.
• Enjoy!
