Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add pork; cook and stir until crumbly and no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove pork from the pan and set aside. Drain grease from the pan, leaving just a thin coating.
  3. 3 Add onion and garlic to the pan; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  4. 4 Stir in cooked pork, carrots, green onions, cabbage, and cilantro. Season with pepper, salt, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Remove from the heat, and set aside until cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes.
  5. 5 To assemble lumpia: Place 3 heaping tablespoons of filling diagonally near one corner of a lumpia wrapper, leaving a 1 ½ inch space at both ends.
  6. 6 Fold the side along the length of the filling over the filling, tuck in both ends, and roll neatly and tightly to close.
  7. 7 Moisten the other side of the wrapper with water to seal the edge. Transfer to a plate and cover with plastic wrap to retain moisture. Repeat to assemble remaining lumpia.
  8. 8 Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes.
  9. 9 Slide 3 to 4 lumpia into the hot oil, making sure the seams are facing down. Fry, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat to fry remaining lumpia.
  10. 10 Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Instructions

  1. 1 Put the chicken in a small stockpot, cover with water and add the carrots, celery, and onion. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked and starting to fall from the bone.
  2. 2 Remove the chicken from the pot; set aside to cool. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, pull the meat from the bones. Put bones and skin back into the stockpot. Turn the heat up and bring the liquid back to a boil. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half, 10 to 15 minutes.
  3. 3 Strain out the bones and vegetables, and put the liquid back into the pot and season with salt and pepper.
  4. 4 Add the beans and bean sprouts to the stock and simmer until beans are tender, about 8 minutes. Add the pulled chicken meat to the stock and mix well. Remove from heat and strain the chicken and vegetable filling until dry. Let cool completely before making the lumpia, at least 15 minutes.
  5. 5 Place 1 wrapper on the table or cutting board and put 1/4 cup of the chicken filling in the lower quarter of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling, then roll over once. Fold in the ends to seal in the filling, then continue folding over until almost to the top. Brush the edge of the wrapper with egg, fold over, and seal. Continue making the lumpia until the filling is used up.
  6. 6 Heat about 1 1/2 inches of vegetable or canola oil to 350 degrees F in a medium-sized, deep-sided sauce pan. Place the lumpia in the hot oil a few at a time, turning each one until they are golden brown. Remove from the oil and place onto paper towels to remove excess oil.
  7. 7 Mix soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic together. Serve lumpia with the dipping sauce.

Instructions

  1. 1 Thaw lumpia wrappers if frozen. Lay several wrappers on a clean, dry surface and cover with a damp towel to prevent wrappers from drying out.
  2. 2 Mix beef, pork, onion, green pepper, and carrot together in a medium bowl. Place about 2 tablespoons of meat mixture along center of wrapper. Do not overstuff wrappers or they will burn before meat is cooked. Fold one edge of wrapper over filling. Fold outer edges in slightly, then roll into a closed cylinder. Wet finger with water and moisten outer edge to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling, keeping finished lumpia covered to prevent drying.
  3. 3 Heat oil in a 9-inch skillet on medium to medium-high heat until oil reaches 365 to 375 degrees F (170 to 175 degrees C). Fry 3 to 4 lumpia at a time, turning in oil until nicely browned, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  4. 4 Cut each lumpia into thirds for parties, and serve with banana ketchup, if you like.

Instructions

  1. 1 Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in brown sugar and 1 dash of cinnamon. Mix well until bubbles start to appear. Add banana; cook, stirring gently, until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer banana to a bowl; roughly slice into 1/4-inch chunks using a spoon. Let filling cool briefly.
  2. 2 Whisk water and flour together in a small bowl to make the paste. Mix white sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon together in another small bowl.
  3. 3 Lay 1 lumpia strip on a flat work surface. Place 3/4- to 1 teaspoon of filling in the lower corner of the wrapper; fold 1 corner over the filling and enclose, forming a triangle. Fold over the other edges to finish the triangle, smearing the last fold with the paste to seal. Place triangle on a plate, seam-side down. Repeat with remaining wrappers, filling, and paste.
  4. 4 Heat 2 inches of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the triangles in batches until golden brown, about 4 minutes per batch. Drain on a paper towel and sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the warm triangles.

Instructions

  1. 1 Brown beef and pork in a large frying pan with a small amount of oil over medium heat. Drain, place in a large mixing bowl, and set aside. In the same pan, cook the carrots with a splash of soy sauce until tender. Add the bean sprouts, snap peas, mushrooms, and green onions, and a dash each of soy sauce, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Cook and stir for 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender but still firm. Add to beef and pork, and toss to combine.
  2. 2 Work with 5, or so, spring roll wrappers at one time, leaving the others covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out. Lay the wrappers so that one corner is facing you. Place a small amount of filling mixture on the corner closest to you, and fold over. Fold the two outside corners inward, then continue rolling up as you would a burrito, leaving the top corner exposed. Brush a small amount of egg white on the top corner, finish rolling, and seal. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
  3. 3 Heat vegetable oil in deep-fryer or deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry rolls for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown, then drain on paper towels.
