Lumpia

Prep Time: 45 to 60 Minutes
Cook Time: 25 Minutes
Servings: 10

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound ground pork
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup minced carrots
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup thinly sliced green cabbage
teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon soy sauce
30 lumpia wrappers
2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Preparation:

Step 1.

• 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.

Step 2.

• 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.
• 3. 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.
