For The Garlic Sauce

3 Fresh garlic cloves, chopped

1/4 cup Rice wine vinegar

1/4 cup Soy sauce

1/8 tsp. Fresh ground black pepper

Method
Prepare garlic dipping sauce by combining ingredients and mixing well, reserve. Prepare sweet and sour sauce per recipe, reserve. In a large pan or skillet, brown the ground pork with onions and garlic. Cook until done. Add shrimp and continue to cook until opaque. Add scallions, waterchestnuts, carrot and celery. Sauté until tender. Season with soy sauce and black pepper.

Remove from heat and cool thoroughly. Place 2- 3 teaspoons of cooled mixture in center of a lumpia wrapper. Brush edges with beaten egg. Fold nearest edge of wrapper over filling and roll halfway, fold in sides. Continue to roll and seal to form lumpia. Repeat until all lumpia are rolled. Heat oil to 375 degrees F. Fry lumpia until golden brown and crisp (approximately 3- 4 minutes.) Place on paper towel to drain. Serve hot with garlic dipping sauce and sweet and sour sauce.

Makes: 20 - 25 Lumpia

Chef Larry's Notes
Lumpia wrappers are available in Asian markets. If not available eggroll wrappers may be substituted, however they do cook up quite as crisp as the lumpia wrappers. Lumpia filling can also be made with chicken, beef or vegetables. Lumpia can be made ahead and stored in the freezer. Enjoy!
