Spring Roll

     I made this before few weeks ago at our family Christmas party. These is one of the dish that my hubby's family are eager to eat and so I made plenty for everyone to take and taste it. My spring roll is consist of ground pork, carrots (grind in a food processor) a garlic powder, salt and pepper to season. I bought my spring roll wrapper at an Asian store since their wrapper is more thinner and is just right for spring roll.

Lumpia Taoge and shrimp

One of my favorite Filipino dish is Lumpia. In the Philippines we have this very thin lumpia wrapper that because it's too thin we have to double it when we wrap the filling. Here in the US I used spring roll wrapper that I could buy in the store. The other day I made lumpia with taoge and shimp and I so love it as well as hubby.

                             This is the wrapper that you have to look at any Oriental or Asian store

                 Instead of the onion (bulb) I used the green onion because I have plenty in my garden. The I minced the garlic, saute the garlic and onion to the oil.

Then I put the shrimp that I cleaned and deveined. Cook until it turn reddish. Then mixed the tauge or mung beans. Here is what it looks like a mung beans or tauge.

I mixed the mung beans or tauge and the carrots and cooked it for about 1 minute. Season it with oyster sauce and pepper.

When it is done. Drained it in a big strainer. Let it cool down first then you can start to wrap it with Spring roll wrapper.

                                              
                                                Here is the wrap spring roll not yet fry.

                     Then in a deep pan put enough oil to fry the spring roll. It would not take very long to fry the wrapper just watch it when it turn brown.

                                 With a chili sauce it's really good. And watch out because it's hot!

Ingredients:

1 lb togue (mung bean sprouts)

1 medium-sized carrot, julienned

1 teaspoon garlic, minced

1 tablespoon or stalked green onion chopped

2 tablespoons oyster sauce

Shrimps ( depending on how many you like to put and how many spring roll you make)

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Spring roll wrapper

3 to 4 cups cooking oil

Fettuccine and spring roll

I didn't make this fettuccine from scratch. We can buy this in the grocery store in pack. Just follow the directions written at the and voila you have dinner already. For one pack hubby and I shared it. So cheap dinner huh!
For spring roll I always buy ground pork, like 2 or 3 lbs and immediately roll it. I freeze it and packed it in a 1/2 quart of a ziploc.

Yummy Sunday: Our Family Christmas party

Last Saturday after celebrating Christmas  is our Family Christmas party. Thankfully 90% come up and we all have fun playing white elephant game. There were 17 gifts for kids to choose from and 48 gifts for adults how is that for a huge family hehe. But most of all everybody brought their own special dish. I brought spring roll and sweet and sour chicken. I felt good because the party has not yet started but my spring roll was gone!! Three people came to be asking my spring roll....I told  them I made 100 pieces and so next time I might double it. My sweet and sour was also a hit, hubby said it is way much better than what we eat in chinese buffet oh bonga!! Here are some of the pictures I took from yesterdays party.
