Ingredients

  • 1 package Menlo Wrappers
  • 1 lb ground beef or ground pork
  • 2 cups of chopped veggies - again I use an organic prepackage slaw cabbage, carrots,etc
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1/4 cup oyster sauce
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup palm shortening for frying

Instructions

  1. In a skillet combined the ground beef, onion, and veggies and cook until the meat is well done.
  2. Add in the salt, pepper and oyster sauce and mix until well blended.
  3. Remove skillet from oven and set aside.
  4. Crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk. This is the "glue" that you will use to seal the wrapper.
  5. Peel the lumpia wrapper in to individual pieces and place one spoonful of filling into the wrapper and roll as the video shows.
  6. At this point I leave out what I want to cook immediately and place the rest in freezer safe bags for later. I will often take the balance and give them away as gifts.
  7. In a medium pan warm your cooking oil. When it's hot drop your lumpia in and fry until golden brown on one side and then flip. These serious brown up in 4 minuted or less.
  8. Repeat.
  9. Remove lumpia from the pan and drain on a piece of paper toweling.
  10. Enjoy!
