Egg Roll Rampage

These were actually intended to be Lumpia, the Filipino version of egg rolls. When i was little, my gramma worked with a lady who would make hundreds and freeze them and we would get them, fry them and enjoy their deliciousness. Me and gramma liked ours with spicy mustard. They didnt have Lumpia wrappers at the store so i had to get egg roll wrappers, so they are just egg rolls now. ONWARD...

I brought one over to my neighbour, Guy and he just LOVED them. He said they tasted just like you'd get at a restaurant, but better. They are so easy too.


Recipe
-1lb pork
-1/2c. chopped onion
-2 cloves garlic chopped
-1/2 chopped green onion
-1/2 shredded carrot
1/2 c. shredded cabbage
-dash of soy sauce
-lots of pepper
-egg roll wrappers
-1/2 c. oil for frying

Brown pork in a skillet until no longer pink and transfer to a bowl. Sautee white onions and garlic until soft. Add in the carrots and green onions and sautee for about 2 minutes. Add in cabbage. Transfer to a bowl to let cool

Take your egg roll wrapper with a point facing down. Put about 2 T of meat mixture going horizontally. Fold bottom up, fold sides up, and then roll tightly...youll need to put a bit of water on the top flap to seal closed. Fry in oil until brown (approx 3 minutes)
