Home Made Lumpia Wrappers in Uruguay
Mahalo Chicos,
Here is another family recipe that I like to use when creating my own home made egg rolls or ‘lumpia’ would call it.
Hope you enjoy…
Serves: Up to 4 thin wrappers
Prep time: Less than five minutes
Cook time: Less than one minute each wrapper
What you’ll need:
1. Small flat cooking pan
2. 2 large brown eggs
3. 1/2 c cornstarch dispersed in same amount of water
4. Three bowls
5. Cooking oil
What to do:
1. Separate the whites from the yellows.
2. Beat the whites until frothy.
3. Fold yellows in with the whites.
4. Fold in already dispersed cornstarch.
5. Heat small pan with cooking oil ensuring that the oil is dispersed thoroughly.
6. Spoon about 2 T of mixture, tilting the pan to ensure that it is cooked evenly-I have a small circle cooking pan that helps for this purpose-.
7. When it is thoroughly cooked gently lift off wrapper from pan and cover with semi wet kitchen towel to prevent from dry. I like to make these a day ahead of time before I start with the actual ‘lumpia’.
Enjoy.
