This Traditional Egg Roll ( Lumpiang Shanghai ) is a family's favorite. Our family often prepare this day during birthdays, Christmas, and other special occasions.
Ingredients
GROUND PORK FILLING
500 grams ground pork (around 2½ cups)
1 carrot, chopped fine
1 onion, chopped fine
Pinch of salt and pepper
2 tbsp oyster sauce
½ tsp sesame oil
1 egg
LUMPIANG SHANGHAI (EGG ROLL)
30 pcs lumpia wrapper
Ground pork filling (above)
1 tbsp cornstarch
½ cup water
4 cups cooking oil
Instructions
In a bowl, combine ground pork, carrots, and onion. Season with salt, ground black pepper, oyster sauce, and sesame. Add egg to bind the mixture. Mix the ground pork filling well.
Separate the lumpia wrappers. Place approximately 1½ teaspoons of ground pork filling at the edge of the lumpia wrapper. Arrange into a long cylindrical shape following the edges of the wrapper. Leave about 1 inch free at both edges. Make sure the lumpia is rolled tightly.
Combine water and cornstarch in a small container. Seal edge of the lumpia with cornstarch mixture to the lumpia wrapper from falling out.
Heat cooking oil in a wok. When cooking oil starts to smoke, drop lumpia pieces and deep-fry until wrapper becomes crunchy and golden brown. Place cook lumpia on paper to drain oil.
Cut into bite-size pieces or small pieces and serve with Sweet and Sour Sauce.
