Filipino Lumpia Shanghai

Lumpia or Lumpiang Shanghai is a type of Filipino egg roll. My recipe filling is composed of minced pork and prawn along with diced onions, carrots, and seasonings.
Ingredients

1/2 lb – Ground pork
1/2 lb – Peeled prawns
1/2 Cup – Grated/diced carrot
1/2 Cup – Grated jicama
1 – Medium white onion (diced)  
2 – Large green onions (diced)
4-5 – Garlic cloves (minced)
1.5 oz – Fish sauce
1.5 tsp – Cornstarch or flour
1 tsp – Black pepper
1 tbsp – Oyster sauce
1 packet – Asian spring roll wrapper
Cooking oil of choice

Directions
1

In a food processor, add your ground pork and three-quarters of your prawns. Reserve one quarter to fold into the mixture at the end for added texture. Process the protein until its sticky.

2

Add the remaining ingredients and spices, be sure to incorporate evenly.

3

Now your protein filling is done, cover and refrigerate for a half hour.

4

Now, your meat should be solid enough to place on skewers like a hotdog, yet still pliable to shape into a kebab

5

Store-bought spring roll wrappers are an excellent alternative to handmade Lumpia wrappers given our busy lifestyle in North America
