Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef, pork, chicken, or lamb ( i usually use pork or beef, but you can use any of these meats or a combination of 2- you can also throw some finely diced shrimp in there too!)
salt & pepper to taste
1/4 cup roasted red pepppers, diced Very Fine
1/2 small can mushrooms stems & pieces, diced Very fine
1 small onion, diced Very fine
2 cloves garlic, diced very fine
1/2 cup matchstick carrots, finely chopped
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 small bundle bean thread noodles *usually found in 3 bundle pkgs
1 pkg Lumpia wrappers, usually found in the frozen section
24 oz Peanut oil, for frying (you can use vegetable oil if preferable)
Directions:
Brown your meat in a skillet, making sure to crumble it into very small pieces. Add the vegetables to the meat and cook for a minute or two, until vegetables are tender. Drain. Return meat mixture back to skillet and season with salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes and Worcestershire. Remove from heat.
While meat is browning, boil the bean thread noodles until done. Drain and using kitchen scissors, cut into small pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the meat mixture and the bean thread noodles.
Prepare your skillet with the peanut oil and heat oil at medium-high heat until hot.
Wrap your Lumpia. Remember that you only need about a tablespoon's worth of meat mixture in each wrap...they will get Overfull very easily. Follow the wrapping directions on the pkg or box.
If your oil is hot, start frying the lumpia. They cook VERY quickly in the hot oil. When they are brown, turn them over. Once the lumpia is crispy everywhere, remove it from the oil to drain on a paper towel lined plate.
This recipe is alot of work, but the end result is just FABULOUS. I usually serve these with some Asian style Noodles
