My aunt is Filipino and makes the best egg rolls ever! These aren't traditional lumpia (Filipino egg roll) but they are amazing. I asked how she make them and this is how it's done. These were a mistake to make lol everyone requests them around the holidays. They are time consuming but so worth it.

Ingredients

  1. 1 lbJimmy dean maple sausage (regular is fine too)
  2. 1 headsmall cabbage
  3. 1segment bean thread (4 come in a package)
  4. 1 largecarrot (found in bulk area)
  5. 1package fresh bean sprouts
  6. 1 packagesegg roll wraps
  7. soy sauce
  8. vegetable oil (for frying)
  9. sweet and sour sauce (optional)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Dice the carrot up or shred it, and cut the cabbage up well. You could also just use a bag of coleslaw mix, but I like to cut my own up.

  2. 2

    Add the sausage to a large skillet or large pot (I prefer a skillet). Get it frying being sure to break the meat up well with you cooking utensil, you don't want big lumps.

  3. 3

    When the meat is almost cooked through, and the cabbage, carrot and bean sprouts and some soy sauce and let cook down until veggies are tender but not mushy.

  4. 4

    Put sausage mix in a colander to drain out any excess liquid.

  5. 5

    While that is draining and cooling boil some water in a sauce pan, add the bean thread and remove from heat. Check them in a couple minutes, they should be done.

  6. 6

    Drain the bean thread as well and let cool until you can handle it. Cut bean thread up and add to sausage mixture and mix well.

  7. 7

    Place oil in a skillet or deep fryer over medium high heat. Be sure not to get it to hot or cool.

  8. 8

    While the oil is coming to temp, place some meat mixture in an egg roll wrapper and wrap it up. There will be a diagram showing you how to do that on the package.

  9. 9

    By the time your done rolling the egg rolls your oil will be ready. Fry until golden on each side. Place some paper towel in a large bowl. Place the egg rolls around the bowl standing up so any excess oil can drain.

  10. 10

    Let cook just a few minutes serve with sweet and sour sauce and your favorite main dish and enjoy!
