Ingredients
- 8 ounces ground pork
- 8 ounces shrimp, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup water chestnuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup green onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 (8 ounce) package lumpia wrappers (also known as spring roll wrappers, they are thin and white and non-eggy. usually found frozen in Asian stores)
- Vegetable oil, to fry
- Thai chili sauce, soy sauce or vinegar with crushed garlic, to serve.
How to Make
-
Step 1: Combine pork, shrimp, water chestnuts, green onions, salt, pepper, egg and soy sauce.
-
Step 2: Take a wrapper and position it so that one of the corners is pointing towards you (diamond shape).
-
Step 3: Place 1 tablespoon of filling on the lower half of the wrapper and squeeze it into a pencil shape horizontally. *When you fill the wrappers, only use a width slightly larger than a pencil or the meat may not cook through before overcooking the wrapper.
-
Step 4: Fold the corner of the wrapper pointing towards you over the pork mixture. Press the wrapper over the mixture, making sure it is snugly wrapped.
-
Step 5: Fold the left and right corners of the wrapper over to the center forming something like an envelope.
-
Step 6: Roll the wrapped pork mixture like a log in a direction away from you. Make sure to roll it tightly or else it might break open when you fry it.
-
Step 7: Brush water or flour paste over the top corner to seal.
-
Step 8: Deep-fry in medium-hot oil until golden brown, drain on paper towels.
-
Step 9: Serve with desired dipping sauces.
