Meat And Potatoes Lumpia Recipes

Steps:

• Put the potatoes and 2 tablespoons water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and poke a few holes in the top. Microwave until the potatoes are tender and can be easily broken apart with a fork, about 15 minutes.
• Carefully remove the plastic (watch out for hot steam) and add the sour cream, horseradish, 4 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon salt and some black pepper to the bowl and mash until creamy. Fold in the spinach until wilted and well combined.
• Rub both sides of each steak with the garlic clove, then put the clove in a large cast-iron skillet. Season the steaks on both sides with 2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of black pepper.
• Add the olive oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high until shimmering. Add the steaks and cook, undisturbed, until deep golden-brown and no longer sticking to the pan, about 5 minutes. Flip the steaks and continue cooking until golden-brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 125 degrees F when inserted into the center for medium-rare. Remove the steaks to a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Discard the garlic clove.
• Meanwhile, turn off the heat and let the pan cool for about 2 minutes. Turn the heat to medium-low and add the shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden-brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in the Dijon and thyme leaves until well combined. Pour in the white wine and simmer until thickened and reduced by half, 4 to 5 minutes. Swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter until melted and silky.
• Thinly slice the steaks crosswise and divide among plates. Spoon sauce over the steak and serve with the potatoes.

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Make sure the lumpia wrappers are completely thawed. Lay several out on a clean dry surface and cover with a damp towel. The wrappers are very thin and the edges will dry out quickly.
• In a medium bowl, blend together the ground beef and pork, onion, green pepper and carrot. Place about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture along the center of the wrapper. The filling should be no bigger around than your thumb or the wrapper will burn before the meat is cooked. Fold one edge of the wrapper over to the other. Fold the outer edges in slightly, then continue to roll into a cylinder. Wet your finger, and moisten the edge to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling, keeping finished lumpias covered to prevent drying. This is a good time to recruit a friend or loved one to make the job less repetitive!!
• Heat oil in a 9 inch skillet at medium to medium high heat until oil is 365 to 375 degrees F (170 to 175 degrees C) Fry 3-4 lumpia at a time. It should only take about 2-3 minutes for each side. The lumpia will be nicely browned when done. Drain on paper towels.
• You can cut each lumpia into thirds for parties, if you like. In the Philippines, lumpia was eaten with banana ketchup, but I've never seen it sold in America.

Steps:

• In a large Wok (or deep fry pan) cook the ground beef and garlic until no longer pink. Drain and poor meat into Large Bowl.
• Finely shred potatoes, carrots and celery ( the finer the better, large pieces will poke holes in the very thin wrappers).
• Pour all shredded vegetables into meat and mix all ingredients together.
• set aside a sheet pan to lay your rolled lumpia's.
• lay flat one lumpia wrapper at a time.
• take about a table teaspoon (not a measured tea spoon) of the meat/veggie mixture and place in the upper/middle of the wrapper.
• fold over top of wrapper over top of mixture, pull back with wrapper to help pull the mixture in tight. Fold in the left side, roll forward once, then fold in the right side and roll forward once, you should now still have a small area of wrapper left, using a basting brush (or fingers) dip your hands into the egg whites and lightly baste the end, finish rolling forward. The egg whites should wet the warpper enough to seal it, but not soak through and make it soggy. Lay aside.
• Once you are finished wrapping heat vegetable oil in deep fryer to 350-375. Carefully drop in with fry basket or with metal tongs. These should fry for about 3-5 minutes or until a light golden brown. Let drain on paper towels, lightly salt, serve.
• These go well with sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or just plain.
• **tips.
• be careful not to overload the lumpia wrapper, they tear very easily and are pretty much useless once you tear them.
• when cooking the ground beef, use a mic and chop type motion to help make the pieces as small as possible .
• Freezer friendly- you can put these into ziplock nags and freeze. I usually use the gallon size bags and put about 7 vertically in the bag (with the ends facing up).i lightly let all the air out, zip, and fold the excess bag over, then stack them in the freezer.
