Vegetable Lumpia

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

2 1/2 cups shredded cabbage

3/4 cups carrots, julienned

3 cups bean sprouts, cleaned

2 tablespoons chopped green onions

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 teaspoon minced ginger

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce

1/3 teaspoon ground black pepper

lumpia wrappers

1 egg, beaten

3 cups Cooking oil

HERE'S HOW:

1. Heat a pan and then scoop about 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of cooking oil.
2. When the oil becomes hot, saute the garlic and ginger.
3. Add the green onion, cabbage, and carrots. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
4. Put-in the bean sprouts, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well and then cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
5. Turn off the heat and then transfer the vegetables to a colander to drain the liquid. Let it cool down.
6. Lay a piece of lumpia wrapper in a clean flat surface. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of vegetable mixture. Wrap the mixture by folding the opposite ends of the wrapper inward and then rolling the other side until a cylindrical shape is formed. Seal the edge by brushing the beaten egg mixture in the end of the wrapper. Repeat this step until the veggie mixture is consumed.
7. Meanwhile, heat the cooking oil in a deep cooking pot.
8. When the oil becomes hot, put-in the lumpia rolls gently one at a time until the maximum capacity of the cooking pot is reached. For better results, try to limit the rolls by cooking around 5 to 6 pieces at a time.
9. Deep fry for 3 to 5 minutes or until the wrapper turns light to medium brown.
10. Remove the fried lumpia from the pot and place in a plate lined with paper towel.
11. Serve with desired dipping sauce.
