No the meat is raw when you mix it and lay it on the wrapper, it gets cooked once you fry it.

Thats called turon! Its usually plantains inside.

Even sum Mang Tomas liver sauce.

I believe you can buy them prepackaged in your local Asian mart.

Hey so I actually made these the lazy way.

Ingredients

Salad mix that had green and red cabbage, carrots, and green onions.

1 egg

1 lb of ground beef. (You can substitute using chicken, turkey ground pork, or even fish. You can also combine 1/2 pork and 1/2 beef).

Seasoning - I used Garlic Powder, Smoke Paprika, Salt, and Pepper

Wrapping Paper This is the one I use

Frying Oil

Eggwash

Instructions.

Chop all the vegetables (only vegetables) into small pieces, I recommend a food processor but you can do it by hand. You don't want to bite big chunks of vegetables so make them as small as possible.

Mixed the vegetable, egg, ground meat, and seasoning in a bowl. This is the before and after.

Now take the meat and lay it on the wrapper and roll it. Theres multiple ways of doing this and this is the tedious part but here's a link to wrap it faster.

Make sure to wrap it tight, avoid air bubbles, and make sure the ends are even because that part of the wrap will get burnt easily.

Use the eggwash to seal the end of the wrapper so it sticks.

Lay it all in a baking sheet/pan and freeze it for about 10-15 minutes. You dont want it to be frozen but just hard enough that its not soggy.

Cut it into 3 bite-size pieces.

Fry the lumpia in oil in medium heat in at least a medium-sized pot, make sure to do only 4-5 at a time so that it doesn't crowd. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Then let it rest in a rack or a towel to remove oil.

Enjoy!.

Here's also a traditional recipe if you want it

1st come 1st served! haha

No the end gets sealed pretty quickly.

Hahaha kids can be awkward, great story, at least you had the courage to say hi.
