Lumpia

Freezes pretty well. I always have a couple dozen in the freezer. Thaey can go from frozen directly into the hot oil.

How 'bout a recipe?

For 30 lumpia:

1 lb ground pork
1 lb bratwurst
2 carrots, minced
2 celery stalks, minced OR a big handful of finely shredded cabbage
1 small mild onion
2 or 3 cloves minced garlic
a few shakes of soy sauce
a shake or two of crushed red pepper
30 lumpia wrappers (you can get them at any Asian grocery, usually in the freezer section. Don't substitute eggroll or springroll wrappers because it's not the same thing.)
peanut oil

Squeeze the brats out of the casing and fry up with the pork and a few shakes of soy sauce, chopping into fine bits.

Remove the meat from the pan, pour out the fat, and saute the celery, carrots and onion for about 5 mins.

Add the meat back to the pan, mix well, and let it cool.

Lay out your lumpia wrapper and place 1 heaping tablespoonful of meat mixture along the bottom third of the wrapper. I always over fill them Then you roll them up eggroll or burrito style, but you want them to be nice and tight. There are videos on the 'net where some nice lady will show you how.

Fry in hot peanut oil until golden, about 2.5 mins, turn, then another 2.5 mins.

Sounds good, anyone know of any Asian grocery stores in Calvert, looked for wrappers yesterday at PF Giant, and no luck. The recipe i saw on you tube, showed the cook mixing everything together and then putting the raw ingredients in to the wrapper and cooking it up in the peanut oil??

Ended up having coney cheese dogs at A&W instead.

Heard puff pastry wrappers would work in a pinch.
