Spring Rolls

Ingredients: 1 1/2 lbs ground pork 1 whole egg 4 cloves of garlic finely minced 1/2 cup onions finely minced 1/2 cup carrots finely minced 1/2 cup shrimp finely minced 1/2 cup Chinese celery (flat leaf parsley) finely chopped 2 tbsps soy sauce 3 tbsps cornstarch salt and pepper to taste spring roll wrappers oil for frying
Step 1: Mix all the ingredients in a bowl except for the wrappers. Season with a little bit of salt and pepper and mix well. You can do a sampling at this point by taking a bit of the mixture and forming it into a small patty and frying it in oil. Just to test if it needs adjustment in seasoning.
Step 2: Lay your wrapper in a plate. Take about a tablespoon of the filling and lay on top near the bottom end of the wrapper. Form into a log shape as big as your finger.
Step 3: Fold the bottom end over slightly tugging your filling down so it would be wrapped tightly.
Step 4: Fold the sides toward the middle.
Step 5: Start rolling up. Brush the top end of your wrapper with a little bit of water to seal the lumpia.
Step 6: All wrapped up.
Step 7: Heat oil in a pan and deep fry your lumpia for about 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
Step 8: Pull out and let excess oil drip over a strainer or paper towel. Serve the Lumpiang Shanghai - Filipino Spring Rolls with your favorite sweet and sour sauce or ketchup.
