Filipino receipe?

Question

Not sure if it is. I think so. It was a bit of ground beef with ginger root wrapped in a small wrap of dough and quickly deep fried. The sauce was soy and vinegar mixed. This is all I remember about them. A bit more detail on these would be great. What are they called?

Answer 3

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound ground pork
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup minced carrots
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup thinly sliced green cabbage
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon soy sauce
30 lumpia wrappers
2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Directions:

Place a wok or large skillet over high heat, and pour in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Cook pork, stirring frequently, until no pink is showing. Remove pork from pan and set aside. Drain grease from pan, leaving a thin coating. Cook garlic and onion in the same pan for 2 minutes. Stir in the cooked pork, carrots, green onions, and cabbage. Season with pepper, salt, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Remove from heat, and set aside until cool enough to handle.
Place three heaping tablespoons of the filling diagonally near one corner of each wrapper, leaving a 1 1/2 inch space at both ends. Fold the side along the length of the filling over the filling, tuck in both ends, and roll neatly. Keep the roll tight as you assemble. Moisten the other side of the wrapper with water to seal the edge. Cover the rolls with plastic wrap to retain moisture.
Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat, add oil to 1/2 inch depth, and heat for 5 minutes. Slide 3 or 4 lumpia into the oil. Fry the rolls for 1 to 2 minutes, until all sides are golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

Answer 4

+ The name of the food is called LUM PIA. It could also be made with a vegetable filling. I think they use some egg (might just be the egg whites) in the filling to bind it prior to rolling it in the wrappers. The wrappers are the hard part to get, and I see them sometimes in oriental specialty food store. In the Philippines the stores are called the Soory sorry stores. By the way if some Philippine makes this for you and you like it you should say MAS A RAP (it means delicious) (soft "a" in all Tagalog diction)

Good Luck
