Lumpia
Make lumpia, these traditional Filipino spring rolls, at home and serve them with our three tasty dipping sauces.
Ingredients
- ¾ lb (340 g) medium-lean ground pork
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 carrot, cut into fine julienne using a julienne blade peeler
- 1 green onion, chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ tsp (7.5 ml) low-sodium soy sauce
- 24 store-bought square wonton wrappers
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the meat with the vegetables, egg and soy sauce. Season lightly with salt and generously with pepper.
- On a work surface, lay out 6 wonton wrappers at a time. Place 1 tbsp of the filling on the bottom half of each wrapper. Using a pastry brush, wet the top and bottom of each wrapper with water. Roll each wrapper up around the filling into a log, starting at the bottom and rolling towards the top, leaving both ends open (see note). Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Preheat the oil in a deep fryer to 350°F (180°C). Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
- Fry a few spring rolls at a time for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden. Drain on the wire rack and keep warm in an oven preheated to 200°F (95°C) while you fry the remaining egg rolls. Serve as is or with one or several dipping sauces of your choice: Sweet and Sour Mango Sauce, Maple-Beer Mayonnaise and Soy-Vinegar Sauce.
