Lumpia
For anyone that doesn’t know, Lumpia are the Filipino equivalent of egg rolls
- 1 lb pork
- 1 finely chopped carrot
- 1 finely chopped onion
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can water chestnuts, drained and chopped fine
- 1 can bamboo shoots, drained and chopped fine
- 8 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 package wonton wrapper
- 1 large egg
- In a large bowl combine the pork, carrot, onion, water chestnut, bamboo shoots, garlic, ginger, soy sauce and pepper.
- Stir mixture until thoroughly combined-at this point you can cover and stick in the fridge over night.
- I lay out about 10 wrappers at a time, roll the meat mixture into cigar shapes about finger thickness-be reasonable-and the length of the wrapper.
- Roll, brush ends with beaten egg and finish the roll to seal.
- Place seam side down on a cookie sheet and repeat until done.
- Bake in a preheated 450 degree oven, turning once for around 20 minutes.
- They should be cooked through and the wrappers are golden brown.
- Serve hot.
- You can make these ahead of time and keep cooked Lumpia in the fridge for up to 3 days, or frozen up to 4 weeks.
- To reheat (thaw if frozen) bake on baking sheet in a hot oven for 10 minutes, and turn once.
Dipping Sauce
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch, mixed with the water
- 2-3 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- In a 3 quart saucepan mix together the brown sugar, vinegar and soy sauce.
- Stir over high heat until sugar dissolves.
- Mix the cornstarch/water and add to the sugar mixture and stir until mixture boils.
- Remove from heat and stir in ginger. Makes 2/3 cup and you can double this up if you wish.
