Filipino Lumpia Shanghai-YA!

This is a party favorite. I like to make huge batches of these little bad boys and stick them in the freezer. You can be as creative as you want with the fillings. One time we didn't have ground meats, so my mom used shredded chicken, and pieces of longanisa(future post on that coming soon!) You can use beef instead of pork if you are banned from eating pork. 

Chopping Garlic. One of my favorite things to do!

Usually when i cook things, i always start off with the TRINITY-Onions-carrots-celery. Remember this. Get used to it.

When you saute that stuff,
the smell is most divine.

In this recipe we are just using onions, garlic, and carrots. No cooking required.

l-r soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, cilantro, garlic, s&p, onion, carrot, ground pork

Don't be shy. Just get messy! It's liberating. You can also use a food processor.

you can find these in the freezer section of any market. they're cheap.

i use a small amount of meat so it cooks faster and theres MORE crunch fun to go around

Doesn't that just make you want to stop what you're doing right now and do whatever it takes to have some?
