My HOME and KITCHEN

Lumpiang shanghai is always my appetizer whenever I host a party. It’s always been a favorite of my guests. They don’t know how I make it taste really scrumptious..Whenever I get invited to a party, I bring mini egg rolls (as they call it)My father-in-law loves lumpia, and I am still trying to find out how to send them frozen food, so I can make some and send to New York. My sister and brother in law are also asking for it..Hmmm..UPS maybe?

Making it is not hard, the wrapping is kind of exhausting, but it’s worth it..My family is my #1 fans, then, my NY in-laws..Anyways, this is how I make it..

Ingredients:
3 lbs. ground beef (pork, turkey, chicken, shrimp..whatever u want)
3 eggs
3 cups grated carrots (i use food processor)
3 cups grated onions
1 whole big red bell pepper, grated
4 tsp. salt (however u want the taste)
4 tsp. ground pepper
100 pcs. square lumpia wrapper, extra thin

You can always make just half of what I recommended. I always make 100 pcs., since the measurement of everything is already set..

Direction.

Mix all the ingredients in a big bowl, except for the wrapper. what I do is, after I mix everything, I cook at least 1 tbsp of mixture on a small pan in case it needs a little salt, pepper or onions, then if you think the taste is heavenly, you can start wrapping..1 tbsp. per wrapper. too much filling is not good, less filling ain’t good either..Use flour and water as a sealant. Cut it in half before frying. Deep fry with lots of cooking oil. Sit the cooked oily Lumpia on a paper toweled tray to get rid of extra oil. It will be very delicious..Serve while it’s hot for it will be crispy..

You can choose from these type of sauces. I love the Pantai brand from the Asian store..

Enjoy your Lumpia and Have a great day to all!!!
