Pork Lumpias

Over the weekend, I decided to try to make some pork lumpias (filipino style egg rolls). I've made lumpias before (at a lumpia-making party!!) which was yummy but I never got the recipe down to know how to make them again. So when ItsJudysLife posted her video on YouTube on how to make them, I watched it a couple times and felt confident enough to make them myself. I altered the recipe just a bit to accommodate on what I had for ingredients (like I always do!). Also - for this recipe, I was able to make about 50 lumpias! So let's begin!

 Start with 1 1/2lb of ground pork. 

Add a tablespoon each of onion powder and garlic powder. Pinch of ground black pepper and sea salt. 

Mince up 2 cloves of garlic and finely chop half a sweet onion.

Side note - absolutely love my Eva Solo grating bucket that I got from Hautelook! :)

 Add 1 cup each of finely shredded green cabbage and carrots (equivalent of 2).

Add one tablespoon of soy sauce (I used low-sodium) to the pork/veggie mixture.

Combine everything together.. I found that the rice paddle works well for me. ;)

 Now all mixed together evenly!

Saran-wrap and refrigerate for an hour.

 Peel apart each lumpia wrapper slowly.. it can rip!

 Fold the corner diagonally to create a triangle and use scissors to cut. 

You will get two triangles from each sheet.

Ready to start rolling some lumpias! Have a bowl of 1 beaten egg on the side for sealing.

Place 1 tablespoon of the pork/veggie mixture in the middle of the triangle.

 Roll over once...

 Fold in each of the sides...

 Roll over again then seal the corner with some of the egg...

Rolled them all up! :)

Start frying with 1/2 inch of canola or vegetable oil in a med-high skillet. (Or use a deep fryer)

Cook for 3-4 mins on each side to make sure the pork gets cooked all the way.

 You can store away the uncooked lumpias into zip-lock bags.

 Place them into a freezer-friendly gallon zip-lock.

Like this! And you can freeze them for a few months.

Fried to a golden crisp!

SO good with some sweet chili sauce for dipping! 

Hope you guys try this recipe out and enjoy!!

P.S. Thank you all so much for your sweet compliments and reponses to my makeup tag! I'm glad you guys liked it! And to think that it didn't even include the brushes/tools I used.. o_0 haha.. 

I hope to write some makeup tutorials/reviews pretty soon. :)
