O.K. Here's my Lumpia recipe I got from my Phillippino housegirl in '75 (and yes, my wife hired her..I ain't stupid)
Lumpia Wrappers (found in most oriental food stores)
Green beans (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 cup bean sprouts
1 cup carrots
1 cup celery
2 cups onions
1 1/2 cups green peppers (other colors can be substituted)
1 cup finely shredded cabbage
1 lb ground (add your own meat, combo, whatever)
1 cup soy sauce
3 cloves of garlic (or to taste)
1 cup of water
Slice green beans at 30 to 45 degree angle, finely, but not too
soak fresh bean sprouts
cut cabbage and put in large bowl
cut remaining vegetables in cubes or strips (your choice), but remember, they are going in Lumpia wrappers...put vegetables in the large bowl
brown and drain meat
sautee' onions, garlec and peppers until tender
Then add cabbage, then put all into the large pan..simmer 2-3 minutes
Add soy sauce
add green beans and sprouts
add 1 cup of water
add meat and simmer entire mixture 15 to 20 minutes on LOW heat
Let cool to room temp
Wrap mixture in wrappers (makes more than a dozen
)
Deep fry until wrapper is brown
The mixture can be seasoned to taste...we usually use beef or pork...
Dip in favorite sauce...serve with rice
