Lumpiang Shanghai Ingredients:
- 1/2 kilo ground pork
- 1/2 kilo ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1/8 cup soy sauce
- 2 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon scallions, finely chopped
- 1 (16 ounce) package spring roll wrappers
- 1 1/2 cups Canola oil for frying
Lumpia Shanghai Instructions:
In a Large bowl, combine ground pork, ground beef, onion, scallions, brown sugar and carrot. Make sure to completely mix everything. I suggest getting down and dirty and use your hands. Knead the meat in the bowl if you must.
Gradually blend in the soy sauce , black pepper, garlic powder, and salt until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Tip : To know if the taste is according to your liking just get a 1 teaspoon size meatball, then fry it, once cooked check the taste and adjust the saltiness of the meat mixture.
Lay out a few wrappers at a time on a flat surface, and place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in a line down the center of the wrapper. Make sure the filling is no thicker than your thumb, or the wrapper will cook faster than the meat.
Take the bottom and top edges of the wrapper and fold them towards the center. Take the left and right sides, and fold them towards the center.
Moisten the last edge of the wrapper to seal. Now repeat using the rest of the wrappers, and have hubby or the kids help you out.
Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or heavy skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry 3 or 4 lumpia at a time.
Fry for about 3 or 4 minutes, turning once.
Lumpia are cooked through when they float, and the wrapper is golden brown.
Cut in half, or serve as is with dipping sauce. We like sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce with lemon, or banana ketchup.
Lumpia Shanghai Recipe is the all time Filipino favorite finger food for all occasions.
