Lumpiang Shanghai

🇵🇭 Philippines

Servings: 5 dozen pieces Prep: 30 minutes Cook: 10 minutes Total: 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken or pork
  • 1/2 cup green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 can (8 ounces) water chestnuts, drained and finely chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and shredded
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 20 spring roll wrappers
  • Canola oil, for frying

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine ground chicken, green onions, water chestnuts, carrots, garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper; mix well.
  2. Separate spring roll wrappers into individual sheets and lay flat on a work surface.
  3. Spoon about 1 heaping tablespoon of the meat mixture onto the lower edge of a wrapper.
  4. Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling and roll tightly into a thin log about 3/4-inch thick. Wet the remaining edge with water to seal.
  5. Repeat with the remaining mixture, then cut each roll into about 3-inch lengths using scissors.
  6. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry lumpia in batches, turning occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown, crisp, and cooked through.
  7. Remove with a slotted spoon or tongs and drain on a wire rack. Serve immediately with sweet and sour sauce or banana ketchup.
