Fried Lumpia - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb. lean ground beef
1 medium onion, minced
2 medium carrots, shredded
1 large potato, shredded
3 celery stalks, minced
1 egg
soy sauce to taste
1 pkg. lumpia or egg roll wrappers

Preparation

Brown ground beef in a large pan.
Drain grease and return beef to the pan.
Add vegetables and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Add about 1 tablespoon soy sauce (more if desired).
Let mixture cool.
Separate the egg.
Add the egg yolk to meat mixture and reserve the egg white for sealing the lumpia wrappers. Separate lumpia wrappers carefully and prevent them from drying out.
Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the beef mixture 1/4 down one end and pull that 1/4 end over mixture.
Roll up tightly and seal the wrapper with egg whites.
Deep-fry in oil until golden brown or pan-fry in some oil (I prefer deep frying).
Drain on paper towels and serve hot with some ketchup, sweet and sour sauce or barbecue sauce.
Leftovers can be reheated in 350\u00b0 oven for 15 minutes.
