1 lb fresh ground beef
1 medium onion, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium carrot, shredded
3 sprigs fresh curly parsley, chopped (1 1/2 tbsp. dried)
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tbsp. salt
1 tbsp. black pepper
1/3 tbsp. garlic powder
2 tbsp. flour
2 eggs
Spring Roll Wrappers, approximately 25 pieces
In a bowl, mix all ingredients and 1 beaten egg until flavors are well blended and mixture feels lumpy. Cover with plastic wrap, set aside or keep refrigerated until ready to wrap. Meanwhile, separate each spring roll wrapper carefully to avoid tearing. When ready to wrap, keep a small saucer of beaten egg accessible as this will be used to seal the spring rolls,
To wrap a spring roll, lay a piece of wrapper on a flat surface with one of its corners facing you (like a diamond shape). Scoop a tablespoonful of the mixture and spread horizontally on the wrapper, about two inches above the corner facing you about an inch or inch and a half on both sides. Keep the thickness of the mixtures to about the size of your forefinger. Pick up the bottom corner of the wrapper and fold over. Press the mixture snug, being careful not to tear the wrapper, and roll until half-way up. Fold the two sides over and continue rolling up, making sure the rolls are wrapped snug. When about two inches to top, brush the unfolded part of the wrapper with the beaten egg then roll all the way to the top to seal the spring roll.
Deep fry until golden brown. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve with sweet and sour or sweet chili sauce.
Lumpiang Shanghai can be pre-made and stored in the freezer for about a week, and the quality is still as when the meat was mixed and wrapped the same day. Any busy mom can do this on a weekend and just thaw a couple "sticks" when everyone is in for a Lumpia Night! Just let it thaw on your kitchen counter or microwave 20 seconds at a time, until the spring rolls come off from the frozen bundle easily and pat them dry with a paper towel before dropping into the deep fryer.
