Pork and Beef Lumpia (Egg Rolls)

By aohmc

This delicious Pork and Beef Lumpia recipe can be pre-made and refrigerated until ready to cook. Since they are wrapped with raw meat, make sure to cook them in medium heat so that meat will be fully cooked. Or bake in the oven for healthier eating.

Ingredients

• FILLING:
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 pound ground pork
• 4 green onions, minced
• 1 medium carrot, shredded
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 packages spring roll wrappers (25 pieces per pack) room temperature
• 1 egg yolk (for sealing the edge when wrapping)
• Cooking Oil for frying

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, mix all above filling ingredients with a fork or chopstick until well mixed.

Spoon about 1½-2 tablespoons meat mixture and place along one corner of spring roll wrapper. Shape into about 2-inch stick. Roll tightly, folding in wrapper ends while rolling. Brush edges lightly with egg yolk to seal the Lumpia closed. Repeat with remaining filling.

Heat the oil in a deep fry pan on high until hot, then turn down to medium. Fry in deep hot oil until golden brown and meat is cooked inside.

Serve with sweet and sour sauce that can be bought from grocery stores.

For healthier cooking:

Place Lumpia on a cooking sheet, spray with no-stick cooking oil. Bake at 325 degree F until both sides turn golden brown. Flip once if necessary. It's about 25-30 minutes. They turn out as juicy as the fried ones, but less oil.
