LUMPIA - FILIPINO SHRIMP AND PORK EGG ROLLS



Lumpia - Filipino Shrimp and Pork Egg Rolls image

The traditional Filipino egg roll is small in size, but big on taste. More shrimp can be added to your taste, or omitted altogether. They can also be frozen for later consumption. Serve with store-bought sweet and sour sauce or spring roll sauce (available in Asian grocery stores).

Time 1h30m

Yield 75

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound ground pork
1 cup finely chopped raw shrimp
½ cup finely chopped onion
½ cup grated carrots
¼ cup finely chopped green onions
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon monosodium glutamate (MSG)
1 (16 ounce) package spring roll wrappers
1 egg white, beaten
1 quart vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Mix the ground pork, shrimp, onion, carrots, green onions, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and MSG in a bowl until well combined.
  • Pull a wrapper off the stack, and cover the remaining wrappers with a damp cloth. Place the wrapper on a work surface. Place a thin line, about the width of your little finger, across one side of the wrapper, 1/2 inch from the edge of the wrapper. Roll the wrapper tightly around the filling, and seal the edges with egg white. Repeat making rolls with the remaining wrappers and filling, and cut the rolls into thirds.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy pan or deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Deep-fry 3 or 4 lumpia at a time, turning once, until the rolls float and turn golden brown, about 3 minutes. Serve hot.

SHRIMP AND DEVILED-EGG SALAD ROLLS



Shrimp and Deviled-Egg Salad Rolls image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 8 mini rolls

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt
1 pound large shell-on shrimp, deveined
6 large eggs
2 ounces slab bacon or 2 strips thick-cut bacon, finely diced
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon hot sauce
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
Freshly ground pepper
4 butter lettuce leaves, halved
2 vine-ripened tomatoes, cut into 8 slices
4 top-loading hot-dog buns, halved crosswise
2 scallions, finely sliced

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with 2 quarts water, add 2 teaspoons salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from the heat; add the shrimp, and let sit (off the heat) until the shrimp is pink-orange and slightly firm, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a colander with a slotted spoon and rinse under cold water until cool enough to handle.
  • Return the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer over low heat. Gently lower the eggs into the water with a large ladle, two at a time, and let simmer exactly 14 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, peel and chop the shrimp and put them in a large bowl. Saute the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until firm and just turning golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • When the eggs are done, transfer to a colander and rinse under cold water until cool enough to handle, about 2 minutes. Peel the eggs and halve lengthwise. Separate the whites from the yolks; coarsely chop the whites and add them to the bowl with the shrimp. Press the yolks through a mesh strainer into a separate bowl. Add the mayonnaise, hot sauce, mustard and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the yolks and whisk until the mixture is the consistency of cake batter, about 1 minute.
  • Using a rubber spatula, fold the yolk mixture into the shrimp mixture until the shrimp is evenly coated with the deviled-egg dressing. Season with salt and pepper and toss again. (The shrimp and deviled-egg salad will keep in the refrigerator, covered, for 2 days.)
  • To serve, load 1 piece of lettuce and 1 tomato slice into each of the bun halves; spread about 1/2 cup of the shrimp and deviled-egg salad in each. Garnish with the bacon and scallions.

BEST PORK AND/OR SHRIMP EGG ROLLS



Best Pork And/Or Shrimp Egg Rolls image

From the American-Chinese food menu, this is the most authentic recipe for egg rolls we've seen. You can make pork egg rolls, shrimp egg rolls, combos, or half of them pork, half of them shrimp. Simply adjust the amounts of pork/shrimp to your liking. These freeze well and are great for OAMC. You can use ground pork, but for the best flavor, use leftover roast pork or rib meat, especially bbq'd. A great idea is to purchase a small order of ribs from the local chinese resteraunt, and cut and dice the meat from the bones for this recipe, or better still, try Recipe #329856 :)

SHRIMP EGG ROLLS

Categories     Onions

Time 35m

Yield 6 egg rolls, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
12 ounces shrimp, cooked and minced
4 scallions, chopped fine
2 cups Chinese cabbage, finely shredded
2 carrots, shredded
8 water chestnuts, cut into small, thin strips
2 stalks celery, minced
1 cup bean sprouts
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 -2 tablespoon soy sauce, to taste
2 teaspoons oyster sauce (optional)
1 tablespoon rice wine
3/4 teaspoon sugar (optional)
6 egg roll wraps
1 egg, beaten (if you wish, you can use water, but it doesnt always work!!!)
oil, for deep frying

Steps:

  • First heat your 2 Tablespoons of oil in either a wok or is a deeper skillet, and stir fry your shrimp, cabbage, carrots, water chestnuts, and celery for 3-4 minutes.
  • Then put into the pan the following: bean sprouts, scallions, salt, soy sauce, and sugar, and stir thoroughly.
  • Add this shrimp mixture to each egg roll wrapper (about 3-4 tablespoons of mixture in each wrapper).
  • You will want to make a bunched line with the mixture closer to one side of the wrapper, making sure that you are placing it lengthwise down the longer side of the wrapper.
  • Brush edges with egg.
  • Fold the shorter side of the wrapper in (the side that runs lengthwise next to the mixture) completely over the mixture, and then fold over both sides of the wrapper that run the other direction.
  • Then you will want to go to the end with the mixture and start folding (rolling) it tightly to make a cylinder.
  • Make sure that when you come to the end of the last edge, that it is sealed tightly.
  • Cover rolls with a damp towel while you finish rolling all of them.
  • Heat oil in your deep pan to 375.
  • I usually use about 1 inch of oil in my pan.
  • Fry egg rolls, a few at a time, until skins are crisp and golden brown, turning them as they brown.
  • Drain egg rolls on paper towels to get rid of excess oil and serve them at once for best results.
  • ENJOY!

SPICED CHICKEN AND SHRIMP "EGG" ROLLS



Spiced Chicken and Shrimp

This is a great appetizer and is my take on the Classic American Egg Roll. My version is a large double wrapped spring roll that has an egg "crepe" inside. It is really filling and tasty. I love using chicken spiced with Chinese five-spice powder to give it a richer flavour. Together with crunchy vegetables this is more-ish indulgent appetizer. For larger crowds get ahead by making them in advance and place on a floured tray covered in cling film and fry fresh before serving. Or for home freezing, you can lose the egg crepe and fry from frozen.

Categories     appetizer

Time 55m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 organic chicken thigh, de-skinned, de-boned, sliced into long thin strips
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
4 large shrimp, shells and tails removed, deveined
1 tablespoon Shaosing rice wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoon low-sodium light soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch slurry (1/2 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water)
1 teaspoon sriracha
2 free-range or organic eggs
1 pinch sea salt
1 pinch ground white pepper
2 tablespoons peanut oil or vegetable oil
2 dried shitake mushrooms, pre-soaked in hot water for 20 minutes, drained, stalks removed, sliced
1 spring onion, julienned
1/2 small handful beansprouts
1/2 small carrot, julienned
1/4 red pepper, deseeded, julienned
Peanut oil, for frying
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
14 3/4 cups/3.5 liters peanut or vegetable oil, for deep frying
Four 10-inch spring roll wrappers, such as TYJ (made from wheat flour, salt and coconut oil)
1 egg, beaten, for sealing rolls
2 scallions, julienned, soaked in ice-cold water to make curls
Sweet chili sauce

Steps:

  • For the filling: Heat a wok over high heat. Add the oil, give it a swirl, and then add the ginger and garlic and toss for a few seconds. Then add the chicken strips and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the Chinese five-spice powder and toss well. Stir in the shrimp and cook for 1 minute, and then pour in the Shaosing rice wine and cook until absorbed. Stir in the soy sauce, slurry and sriracha and toss well. Transfer to a plate to cool.
  • For the egg crepe: Crack one of the eggs into a bowl and lightly beat with a fork or chopstick. Sprinkle in the salt and pepper. Heat a small pan or wok over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the beaten egg mixture and swirl around to make a thin egg "crepe". Gently cook for 1 minute, then flip and cook until lightly browned. Remove from the wok and set aside. Repeat with the remaining egg and oil.
  • For the vegetables: Mix together the mushrooms, onions, beansprouts, carrots and red peppers in a large bowl. Reheat a wok and add some peanut oil. Add the vegetables and oyster sauce, toss well, and cook for less than 1 minute. Remove, drain and set aside.
  • For frying and assembly: Heat the oil in a deep pot or wok over medium-high heat until hot. Lay 2 pieces of the spring roll wrapper out onto a flat surface in a diamond shape. Place one egg crepe right in the middle. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the filling into the center and top with the stir-fried vegetables. Brush over the wrapper edges with the beaten egg using a pastry brush; this helps stop the spring rolls from bursting open while frying. Fold each of the opposite corners in over the filling and roll the wrapper into a cigar shape. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.
  • Deep-fry the spring rolls until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels, garnish with scallion curls and serve with sweet chili sauce.

SHRIMP EGG ROLLS (SIMPLE AND FAST)



Shrimp Egg Rolls (Simple and Fast) image

These egg rolls are so easy. They taste great. Once you eat these you just may not ever want store-bought or restaurant egg rolls ever again. These are the best egg rolls I have ever had. Hope you like! I normally use Azumaya or Nasoya brand egg roll wrappers. They work and taste great. This recipe goes great with recipe #104944. I have also used apricot jelly in place of pineapple preserves for that recipe since I can never seem to find pineapple preserves.

PORK AND SHRIMP EGG ROLLS



Pork and Shrimp Egg Rolls image

My entire family loves these egg rolls. I have no idea where this particular recipe came from. Perhaps I "stole" it from someone, perhaps I got it out of a recipe book or magazine, or maybe I got it off the Internet back in its infancy. Somehow, I have a feeling that it may be bits and pieces of all these sources. In any case, this is the recipe I have made for many years and I am sticking to it! I truly hope you enjoy it because these eggs rolls are awesome.

Categories     Pork

Time 2h30m

Yield 50 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 large green cabbage head (large shredded into thin strips)
12 ounces mung bean sprouts
1 1/2 lbs raw shrimp (peeled and de-veined. For this particular recipe, I used the extra small, 240 count. I normally use )
1 1/2 lbs pork steaks (Cut into about 1/4 to 1/2 inch cubes. I prefer mine on the larger side)
2 large white onions (Chopped)
6 garlic cloves (finely minced)
2 carrots (Shredded)
1/4 cup soy sauce (Your choice)
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
3 teaspoons ginger powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons virgin olive oil
50 egg roll wraps (I use the 20 count packages so I always have extras. Just put the opened package in a zipper bag and)
oil or shortening (for frying)

Steps:

  • - Heat the olive oil in a very large frying pan* and drop the pork cubes into it. Add 2 tablespoons of Teriyaki sauce, a pinch or two of salt and cook until well browned.
  • - Add the shredded cabbage, bean sprouts, onions, garlic and carrots. Stir thoroughly and then add the remaining 2 tablespoons of virgin olive oil over the top. Stir thoroughly again. Other cooks like to mix the meat with the raw veggies and let the final frying cook the vegetables. However, I like to cook them a little first to get rid of some of the moisture (especially in the cabbage and sprouts). I have found that, if I get rid of some of the moisture first, the veggies will not shrink as much inside the wrapper later during frying and gives me a much firmer roll without large, empty pockets of air.
  • - Sprinkle the Kosher salt, ginger and black pepper over the top. Add the soy sauce and stir until everything is evenly distributed.
  • - Stir the mixture well several times until the cabbage becomes somewhat soft.
  • - When the mixture has reached the desired consistency, turn off the heat and add the shrimp. Stir well and allow mixture to rest for about 10 minutes.
  • - Have a small bowl of water ready. Take an egg roll wrapper out of the package; lay it flat so that one of the corners is pointing at your belly. Dip your fingers into the bowl of water and run them along all four edges of the wrapper so that they are all nice and moist.
  • - Place (approximately) 2 to 3 tablespoons of the filling in the middle of the wrapper so that it forms an elongated hill that comes to about 1 inch from the left and right sides. Fold the bottom corner (the one near your belly) over the mixture and press the corner lightly into the middle of the wrapper. Fold the left and right corners of the rolled wrapper so they end up pointing at each other on top of the folded wrapper. Using slight pressure from your fingers, "roll" the wrapped mixture towards the top until you end up with your roll. Keep it as tight as possible as you roll but not too much or you may break the wrapper and it will be a mess when you fry it. (Holy Mung Beans, Batman! I hope that makes sense!).
  • - FOR FRYING: I use vegetable shortening or canola oil, whichever I have on hand at the time. I also use my deep fryer but, in a pinch, I have used a deep frying pan with enough frying oil in it to completely cover the egg rolls. I have also heard that peanut oil does a great job but I am a cheapskate and don't want to spend the extra bucks.
  • - Fry on medium-high heat. I have found that anything lower makes the wrappers a little soft and chewy and I like mine nice and crispy.
  • - Now, you will find that egg rolls can be temperamental and some will follow basic orders but some won't. As you fry a batch, you will find that some of your egg rolls have turned over by themselves and some have not. You will also find that some will stay in the position once you turn them but some will absolutely refuse to turn; it seems that no matter how many times you turn them, they will turn back leaving the whitish, uncooked belly exposed. For those rebels, you may need to turn them and hold them under the oil with your utensil until they stay turned.
  • - Fry until golden brown and "bumpy". Place on top of a cookie sheet covered with a thick layer of paper towels and let them "drain" for 10 minutes or so. Serve and enjoy!
  • *I use my big Paella pan (see picture) which requires three burners to use. Otherwise, you may need to cook the filling in a couple of batches if your frying pan is not big enough. At times, your frying pan may not appear to be big enough but, after the cabbage and bean sprouts cook for a few minutes, the mixture will shrink so you may be able to keep adding the fresh veggies slowly and cook it all in one batch.).
  • HINT: When filling the egg rolls, I place my frying pan (or Paella pan) on a flat counter. Then, I place a piece of board about 1.5 inches thick under one side of the pan. This puts the pan on a slight angle which allows the juices and sauce to drain to the lower end. I then start using the filling from the higher side with a slotted spoon. This method allows me to use dryer filling without the sloppiness of wet cabbage.

MOROCCAN SHRIMP BRIWATS (LIKE EGG ROLLS)



Moroccan Shrimp Briwats (Like Egg Rolls) image

In Morocco, briwats can be stuffed with sweet or savory fillings. This is a savory filling that is somewhat modern in origin. This recipe is an adaptation of both my Moroccan mother-in-law's version (though she adds garlic) and a recipe found in the book "Cooking at the Kasbah" by Kitty Norse. Some people also add soy sauce to the mixture (a sure sign of the recipe's modernity; soy sauce, as you can imagine, is not "native" to Morocco!) :) These are yummy snacks and surprisingly light, despite being fried. Do try to find the lumpia wrappers--briwats should not be doughy, but instead light and crispy, and the lumpia wrappers do the job nicely.

1 teaspoon sweet paprika
3 tablespoons cilantro
1/2 teaspoon cumin

3 tablespoons Italian parsley

  • Fry in hot vegetable oil until golden.
  • *Youcan freeze uncooked briwats until ready to use.
  • Just be sure to let them thaw slightly to avoid splattering in the hot oil.
  • Serve with a squeeze of lemon or harissa, if desired.
  • This is a good"potluck" dish and is great for a quick and tasty lunch.

EGG ROLLS -- SHRIMP



Egg Rolls -- Shrimp image

Every now and then I get the yen for Chinese Egg Rolls. And though I vary the ingredients my preference is usually Shrimp and Cabbage. My preference for accompaniments are the Chinese Hot Yellow Mustard for bite number one, and a little Fruit Jelly or Jam mixed with Cider Vinegar for bite two. And so on, till they're...

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 egg roll wraps
1/2 cabbage medium sized grated
2 whole carrots grated
2 c shrimp cooked peeled and chopped coarse -- medium to large sized shrimp
1/2 Tbsp olive oil added to mixture
1/2 tsp salt
1 pinch black pepper
1 pinch tlc
2/3 c oil to fry
ACCOMPANIMENTS
chinese hot yellow mustard
fruit jelly, jam or preserves mixed with a little cider vinegar or a sweet and sour prepared sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Shred the Cabbage and the Carrots. Add 1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil or Oil of choice and toss well. Microwave for 4 minutes on high.
  • 2. Remove from microwave and add salt and pepper to your liking. I use sparsely. Toss well.
  • 3. Add coarse chopped cooked Shrimp and toss well again. I use medium to large sized shrimp.
  • 4. Lay out Egg Wrap with one corner toward you. Place two heaping tablespoons of mixture on wrap. Fold corner over on ingredients and tuck in the sides and continue wrapping. Makes eight prepared Egg Rolls.
  • 5. Place in hot oil, final corner of wrap down and fry until golden. Flip over to brown other side. Remove to paper towels to absorb oil. Cool somewhat and enjoy. Serve with accompaniments noted or of your choice.
  • 6. These re-heat in microwave very well. I usually wrap loosely in paper towel to re-heat. They also freeze and re-heat very well. Enjoy

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Chop your vegetables and shrimp in advance to save time during the assembly process.
  • Use a large bowl: This will give you enough space to mix the ingredients without overcrowding them.
  • Season the shrimp mixture well: Don't be afraid to add a generous amount of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. This will give the shrimp a delicious flavor.
  • Use thin egg roll wrappers: This will make it easier to roll the egg rolls and prevent them from becoming too thick and doughy.
  • Don't overfill the egg rolls: If you put too much filling in each egg roll, they will be difficult to roll and seal.
  • Seal the egg rolls tightly: Use a little water or egg wash to seal the edges of the egg rolls to prevent them from coming undone during frying.
  • Fry the egg rolls in hot oil: This will help them get crispy and golden brown.
  • Serve the egg rolls with your favorite dipping sauce: Sweet and sour sauce, plum sauce, or even just soy sauce are all great options.

Conclusion:

Shrimp egg rolls are a delicious and versatile appetizer or main course. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect shrimp egg rolls every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give shrimp egg rolls a try.
