Daughter wanted some lumpia - that is a filipino version of your traditional Chinese egg rolls. Like q, I never eat egg rolls anywhere. A lie, I will eat q depending in the place and the situation... Chinese egg rolls at a restaurant, I'll pass.

The filling:



on the wrapper:



make an envelope (I hear my mother):



getting a few rolled... my rolling skills honed elsewhere  ;)



into the skillet:



tilted to drain the extra oil out, these things go quick in this house:



some pickled stuff to make it all oriental (more rolled lumpia to the left ready for their dive into the oil):



sorry, no plated shots. Typically serve with some white rice, some sweet and sour sauce, and some veggie (a garlic inspired broccoli was on tap for the night).

    My in-laws bring lumpia every year for Thanksgiving; we love them. Those look great. Thanks for sharing the process.

    @The Cen-Tex Smoker - yes they are, they are like comfort food to me.

    @SciAggie, thanks, and no problem at all. Used ground turkey, but beef or pork could be used as well. That is about 2lbs or so of meat, with two bunches of green onions, 4 cloves of garlic minced, I used roughly a cup of diced up mini carrots (no regular carrots in the house to grate), salt, pepper, and a few shakes of crushed red. Spiced to taste.

    Very cool.  When we lived in SD we had two Filipino markets down the street from us that made their own lumpia.  We used to get them by the platter for just about any occasion.  Much better than any restaurant egg roll.  I could hurt myself with those.

    @Legume, San Diego is my home town. Born and raised - left home eons ago, damn 29 years ago now that I think about it. Will be out that way to celebrate my old man's 90th next month.

    Banging!  Those look awesome.

    As to eggrolls in restaurants, there is a vietnamese restaurant in town that fries really light eggrolls in duck fat.  They are killer and I have gone just to get their eggrolls.

    We were in Penasquitos when we lived there and there were these two small markets and a Filipino bakery as well within a couple of blocks of our house.  When you got down into Mira Mesa, that's where it really got thick with Filipino and SE Asian markets of all kinds.  Great stuff.
