By chance, (although I know it's a longshot) does anyone here know how to make this? We were invited to a Memorial weekend barbeque/party tonight at the home of a girl I used to work with. A Phillapino (sp?-I am sure I have not spelled this right) woman brought a crockpot full of these things....they are similar to eggrolls although completely different. They are only about as big around as your index finger, just a little bigger maybe, and stuffed with a meat/veggie mixture....I think onions and green peppers might have been involved, and the skin on them was deep fried, although upon inquiring, was told it was not the same kind of "skin" used to make eggrolls...I use wan ton (sp?) paper for my eggrolls...she said it was not the same thing, and I could tell, it was much better, and crispier. I wanted to ask her to write down how to make them, but she disappeared while I was visiting with someone I hadn't seen for awhile. My husband and I both just loved these things, and her whole crockpot full disappeared very fast...they are small but addictive!!!!!
I had asked her the name of them and she said Lumpia. I even wrote it down so as not to forget...but I still have no idea how to make them or where to buy the skins, although I did overhear her saying they were hard to find. I am sure there is a place online, somewhere that I could order them if I knew what to call them, but even if I did, I still need the recipe for the ingredients.
Like I said, I was planning on asking her for the whole recipe, but then she disappeared. Any one have any ideas? Ever heard of this? Maybe I could do a search online...hadn't even thought of that till just now, muy first thought was....ask the catsite friends, they know evrything there is to know between them all ! *hugs*
