Method

  1. 01

    Mix the filling

    In a bowl, combine the pork, shrimp, carrot, onion, scallions, garlic, ginger, and water chestnuts. Add 1 egg, the soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, salt, black pepper, and potato starch. Mix just until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

    Ready to continue when: The vegetables and seasonings are spread throughout the mixture, with no large clumps of starch.

    Roll the lumpia

    Place a lumpia wrapper on the work surface. Put a small portion of filling in a thin line near the edge closest to you. Roll it once, fold the sides inward, and continue rolling without tightening so much that the wrapper tears. Beat the second egg and use a little to seal the tip. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.

    Ready to continue when: The rolls are slim cylinders with the seam sealed.

    Fry in batches

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot to 170–175 °C. Fry the rolls in batches, turning them so they brown evenly. Remove them when golden and the filling in the center looks cooked; let them drain on a rack.

    Temperature: 170 °C / 338 °F

    Ready to continue when: The wrappers are browned all over, and when one is opened, the filling in the center looks opaque and cooked.
