lumpia - filipino eggroll
|
|
|
1 lb. | of lean ground beef |
1 | 16 oz bag of frozen mixed vegetables |
| i usually use the kind with corn, green beans,carrots, and peas- you can |
| use any mix of vegetables) |
1/2 cup | of broccoli florettes chopped into tiny pieces (1/8 inch) |
1/2 cup | or more of bean sprouts |
1/4 cup | of soy sauce or more to taste |
1 tsp | of ground pepper or to taste |
2 tsp | of garlic salt |
2 | garlic cloves pressed or minced |
1 small | yellow onion finely chopped |
| accent seasoning to taste |
2 | packages of lumpia wrappers (25-30ct) - these can be found in any asian |
| store or specialty super market. i usually use the ones that are square |
| shaped do not get the eggroll wrappers because they are thicker and give |
| a different flavor |
2 cup | of oil or shortening to deep fry. |
|
brown ground beef with onions and garlic, seasoning with 1/2 of the |
pepper, 1/2 of the garlic salt, and accent. drain fat very well. |
add frozen vegetables, bean sprouts, and broccoli. stir over medium heat |
until frozen vegetable are thawed. add the rest of the seasoning and soy |
sauce. let cool for 15-20 minutes. |
put a spoonful of the filling into each wrapper, and wrap according to |
the directions on the package of wrappers. make sure that the filling is |
thoroughly cool and dry, not soupy, or it will make the wrappers to soggy |
and hard to roll. also, use a beaten egg to seal the wrapper, it keeps |
them closed- when you deep fry them, they tend to unroll when water is |
used to seal. |
all you have to do now is deep fry the lumpia until golden brown. you can |
freeze them and fry them frozen, which works out well because the wrappers |
will keep their shape. |
|
tips: don't be afraid to season the heck out of the meat and vegetables. i |
find that the more seasoning the better. use more garlic... i feel that |
the deep frying and wrapper takes away some of the flavoring- so i really |
go crazy with garlic salt and pepper. |
