Christmas Lumpiang Shanghai

1.In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, carrots, onions, water chestnuts, spring onions, garlic, soy sauce, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

2.Take a lumpia wrapper and place a spoonful of the pork mixture at one end of the wrapper.

3.Roll the wrapper tightly, folding in the sides as you roll to create a neat spring roll shape. Seal the edge with a little water to secure the roll.

4.Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat for frying.

5.Once the oil is hot, carefully place the lumpia rolls in the pan, seam side down, without overcrowding the pan.

6.Fry the lumpia until they are golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes per batch.

7.Remove the cooked lumpia from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

8.Serve the Christmas Lumpiang Shanghai hot with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as sweet chili sauce or vinegar with garlic and chili flakes.

9.Enjoy the delicious and festive flavors of these Christmas Lumpiang Shanghai with your loved ones!
