HOW-TO MAKE FILIPINO EGGROLLS/LUMPIAS

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 pounds ground beef
  • 1 sm onion chopped
  • 1 egg
  • lemon-pepper seasoning
  • garlic powder
  • paprika
  • 1 bag broccoli slaw mix or basic cole slaw mix) (it saves you from chopping)
  • Lumpia Wrappers (refer to the photo)
  • vegetable oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Mix the Coleslaw mix, chopped onion, ground beef, 1 egg and the seasonings together.
  2. Lay one sheet line in a diamond shape, one pointed corner on the front, place about 1 1/2 spoon amount of the ground beef and veggie fillings almost in the middle of the sheet.
  3. Fold the bottom side of the sheet on top of the filling. Tuck a small part of it tight.
  4. Fold the left and right side of the sheets. Then tightly fold the whole thing forward. 2 folds after the sides actually. You should have a space on the front.
  5. Lightly brush the sheet with water. This holds the egg rolls together, nice and tight.
  6. Behold, the Lumpias also known as Filipino Egg Rolls  . It’s time to fry them up. Make sure the oil is hot but not too hot.
  7. Fry each side of the egg rolls for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Make sure to drain the oil from the egg rolls with a strainer and a container at the bottom. Notice how the egg rolls are vertical? That would be the best way for the oil to drip at the bottom.
