Lumpia Shanghai Recipe

reblogged from PinoyRecipe.net

Lumpia Shanghai Ingredients:

1 pound ground pork

1 pound ground beef

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 carrot, grated

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 1/2 teaspoons black pepper

1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder

2 tablespoons salt

1 (16 ounce) package spring roll wrappers

1 1/2 quarts oil for frying

• In a Large bowl, combine ground pork, ground beef, onion, and carrot. Make sure to completely mix everything. I suggest getting down and dirty and use your hands. Knead the meat in the bowl if you must.
  
• Gradually blend in the soy sauce , black pepper, garlic powder, and salt until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
• Lay out a few wrappers at a time on a flat surface, and place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in a line down the center of the wrapper. Make sure the filling is no thicker than your thumb, or the wrapper will cook faster than the meat.
  
• Take the bottom and top edges of the wrapper and fold them towards the center. Take the left and right sides, and fold them towards the center. Moisten the last edge of the wrapper to seal. Now repeat using the rest of the wrappers, and have hubby or the kids help you out.
• Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or heavy skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry 3 or 4 lumpia at a time. Fry for about 3 or 4 minutes, turning once. Lumpia are cooked through when they float, and the wrapper is golden brown.
  
• Cut in half, or serve as is with dipping sauce. We like sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce with lemon, or banana ketchup.

Filipina Explorer's Pork Steak

Ingredients:
1/4 kilo pork kasim or loin, sliced in bite-sized pieces
About 5 medium cloves of garlic, crushed and chopped
Medium onion (may use red or white onions), cut into rings
1/4 cup of soy sauce (Coconut Brand or Silver Swan, for better taste)
1/8 cup of calamansi juice
1 cup water
A dash of pepper
1 small potato, sliced, skinned and fried (optional)
Oil for frying

Directions:

*Combine garlic, pepper, calamansi juice, soy sauce and water in a bowl. Marinade pork in the mixture for about 20-30 minutes.Separate pork from the sauce after marinating.

*Fry onions in oil until transparent. Set aside.
*In the same oil and pan, fry pork until brown.
*Add the sauce to the pan and bring to a boil with medium heat.
*Once boiling, lower down the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 40-45 minutes.
*Top with fried onions (and fried potatoes if you want it with potatoes). Serves 2-3.
Enjoy!

*NOTE: You may also use this recipe for cooking other meats Pinoy Steak-style, e.g. beef (or bistek). If you're cooking beef, simply double the amount of sauce and cooking time as beef is more rigid and takes longer to cook than pork.
