Krystels Lumpia Recipes

HOMEMADE LUMPIA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the filling: Heat the oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the onion, garlic, ginger, and carrot. Cook for 4 minutes, or until the onion is slightly translucent.
• Add the ground pork and cook for about 6 minutes, or until cooked through.
• Add the water chestnuts, salt, pepper, and soy sauce. Stir for 2 minutes, then mix in the green onion and cilantro. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool.
• Heat about an inch (2 cm) of canola oil in a deep, medium frying pan until it reaches 300°F (150°C).
• Lay out one lumpia wrapper in a diamond shape and spoon 2 tablespoons of filling at the bottom of the wrapper, leaving about an inch and a half (3 cm) of space from the bottom point.
• Fold the bottom point over the filling, then fold in the edges to create an envelope shape. Roll the wrapper toward the top point. Brush the top point with egg wash and finish the roll to seal the end.
• Carefully place four to five lumpia at a time in the hot oil. Frying on each side for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Note: If the lumpia are cooking too fast or burning, reduce the heat.
• Remove the lumpia from the oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
• Sprinkle with a garnish of cilantro and serve with sweet chili dipping sauce. Optional: Cut lumpia in half.
• Enjoy!

FILIPINO LUMPIA

Steps:

• Make sure the lumpia wrappers are completely thawed. Lay several out on a clean dry surface and cover with a damp towel. The wrappers are very thin and the edges will dry out quickly.
• In a medium bowl, blend together the ground beef and pork, onion, green pepper and carrot. Place about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture along the center of the wrapper. The filling should be no bigger around than your thumb or the wrapper will burn before the meat is cooked. Fold one edge of the wrapper over to the other. Fold the outer edges in slightly, then continue to roll into a cylinder. Wet your finger, and moisten the edge to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling, keeping finished lumpias covered to prevent drying. This is a good time to recruit a friend or loved one to make the job less repetitive!!
• Heat oil in a 9 inch skillet at medium to medium high heat until oil is 365 to 375 degrees F (170 to 175 degrees C) Fry 3-4 lumpia at a time. It should only take about 2-3 minutes for each side. The lumpia will be nicely browned when done. Drain on paper towels.
• You can cut each lumpia into thirds for parties, if you like. In the Philippines, lumpia was eaten with banana ketchup, but I've never seen it sold in America.

TRADITIONAL FILIPINO LUMPIA

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

TURKEY LUMPIA

Steps:

• Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper.
• Combine turkey, egg, onion, garlic, cumin, Creole seasoning, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well with your hands.
• Position a wonton wrapper on a cutting board so it looks like a diamond. Spread a heaping teaspoonful of the turkey mixture in a horizontal line across the bottom third of the wrapper. Fold over the bottom corner and roll once. Fold over the two side corners and roll again to secure. Dampen the top corner with a little cool water. Roll up and press to seal.
• Place the roll on the prepared cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining rolls, arranging them in a single layer. Freeze until ready to fry.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry the lumpia in batches, about 3 minutes per batch. Remove from the oil and cut in half. Fry again for 30 seconds. Drain on paper towels.
