Ingredients:
- 1 cup minced beef
- 1/2 cup ground pork
- 1/4 cup shrimp
- 1/4 cup tuna
- 1/4 cup chicken
- 1/4 cup ham
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup water chestnut, diced
- 1/4 cup bamboo shoot, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup mushroom, chopped
- 1/4 cup green beans, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cabbage, shredded
- 1/4 cup carrot, grated
- 1/4 cup potato, diced
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Soy sauce, to taste
- Wonton wrappers
Instructions:
-
Fry the Meat: In a deep pan, fry the minced beef, ground pork, shrimp, tuna, chicken, and ham until fully cooked and lightly browned.
-
Add Vegetables and Seasoning: Once the meat is cooked, add in the finely chopped onion, diced water chestnut, thinly sliced bamboo shoot, chopped mushroom, finely chopped green beans, shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and diced potato. Season with salt, pepper, and soy sauce to taste. Stir-fry the mixture until the vegetables are tender and well-incorporated with the meat, ensuring all flavors meld together beautifully.
-
Drain and Save Drippings: Once the meat and vegetable mixture is cooked through, carefully drain the excess liquid, while reserving the flavorful drippings. These drippings will be used to seal the lumpia wrappers later on, adding an extra burst of flavor to each bite.
-
Wrap the Mixture: Take a wonton wrapper and spoon a generous amount of the cooked meat and vegetable mixture onto the center. Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll it up tightly, ensuring no filling spills out.
-
Seal with Drippings: To seal the lumpia securely, brush a small amount of the reserved drippings along the edges of the wrapper before rolling it up. This will help the wrapper stick together and prevent any filling from escaping during frying. If the seal does not hold together well, mix a bit of egg into the liquid for added binding power.
-
Deep Fry to Perfection: Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the wrapped lumpia to the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the lumpia in batches until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, approximately 3-4 minutes per batch.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the lumpia are cooked to crispy perfection, remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil. Serve the lumpia hot and crispy alongside your favorite dipping sauces, such as sweet chili sauce or vinegar with garlic and chili flakes, and enjoy the delicious flavors of these customizable Filipino spring rolls!
