Shrimp Lumpia With Chipotle Aioli Recipes

Steps:

• Make the sweet chili sauce: In a small pot over medium heat, mix together ½ cup (120 ml) of water, the garlic, Fresno chilies, sugar, rice vinegar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and remaining tablespoon of water.
• Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the sauce until fully incorporated. Continue to simmer for 1 minute, or until the mixture has thickened. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Make the lumpia: Julienne the carrots. Cut the green beans on the diagonal.
• In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes or until slightly tender.
• Add the garlic and ginger, and continue cooking for 2 minutes more, until fragrant.
• Add the carrots and green beans, and toss to combine. Add the shrimp, fish sauce, salt, pepper, and rice vinegar, and cook for 2 minutes or until shrimp is pink.
• Add the bean sprouts, toss to incorporate, and remove the pan from the heat.
• Lay out a lumpia wrapper in a diamond shape and spoon 2 tablespoons of filling onto the bottom of the wrapper, leaving about 1½ inches (4 cm) of space from the bottom point.
• Fold the bottom point over the filling, then fold in the edges to create an envelope shape. Roll the wrapper toward the top point. Brush the top point with egg wash and finish the roll to seal the end. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
• In a large, deep skillet, heat 1 inch (2.5 cm) of canola oil to 300°F (150°C).
• Carefully add 4-5 lumpia at a time to the hot oil. Fry on each side for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Note: If the lumpia are cooking too quickly or burning, reduce the heat. Remove the lumpia from the oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
• Garnish with cilantro and serve with the sweet chili sauce.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a food processor, chop the garlic as small as possible. Add the green onion and yellow onion and pulse to a similar size as the garlic. Add and pulse the shiitake mushroom caps and water chestnuts until all are a similar size. Add the shrimp and pulse until the shrimp are a coarse hamburger grind. Add the ground pork, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar and pepper and mix all thoroughly. Transfer to a bowl, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat 1 inch frying oil to 350 to 360 degrees F in a heavy-bottomed pot.
• Carefully peel one wrapper off the stack. Orient the wrapper square to the edge of the counter, not diagonal. Scoop about a heaping tablespoon (approximately 1 ounce) of the filling and spread it about an inch from the edge closest to you and about 1/2 inch from each side. Brush all of the edges with the egg wash. Fold the edges in on the sides and begin rolling the bottom of the wrapper to the top, making a tight rope. Make sure when you finish rolling that the egg wash has sealed the roll. Place the lumpia seam-side down on a plate while you make the remaining lumpia. (This amount of filling should make approximately 30 rolls. (These could be made smaller for appetizers.)
• Fry in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove to drain on a rack or paper towels. Serve hot with sweet chile sauce mixed with vinegar to taste.

Steps:

• Using a small food processor, chop the shrimp to a coarse grind resembling hamburger meat. Remove to a large mixing bowl.
• In the same food processor, chop the garlic as small as possible. Add the green onion and yellow onion and pulse to a similar size as the shrimp. Remove the onion mixture to the mixing bowl with the shrimp. Next pulse the shiitake caps and sliced water chestnuts. Add the pork to the food processor and pulse once more. Add to the mixing bowl.
• Add the fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar and white pepper to the mixing bowl. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Carefully peel one lumpia wrapper off the stack. Orient the wrapper square to the edge of the counter, not diagonal. Scoop about 1 heaping tablespoon of the filling (approximately 1 ounce) and spread it about an inch from the edge closest to you and about 1/2 inch from each side. Fold the edge closest to you past the filling, then using the fingertips, pull and concentrate the filling into a tight rope close to you. Next, roll away from you to form a thin eggroll shape, stopping about 1 1/2 inches from the edge. Fold one end inward and using a brush or fork, apply a minimal amount of beaten egg to the edge and folded-in end as glue. Finish rolling to complete the roll. Place the lumpia seam-side down on a plate while the remainder are formed. You should have approximately 30 rolls.
• Heat 1 inch of the frying oil to 340 to 350 degrees F in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. When the oil is at temperature, fry the lumpia in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove to drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
• Mix the sweet chile sauce and vinegar and serve with the hot rolls. You can adjust the amount of vinegar to taste.

Steps:

• Shell, clean, and devein shrimp. I leave the tails on for aesthetic reasons. Pat dry with a paper towel.
• In a medium-size bowl, mix oregano, thyme, lemon pepper, chipotle, salt, and black pepper. Toss shrimp thoroughly with mixed spices. Keep refrigerated until ready for cooking.
• Heat oil in a well-seasoned iron skillet or nonstick pan over high heat. Wait until oil is smoking hot, then place about 10 shrimp in it so that each has enough room to lie on its side. Cook for approximately 1 1/2 minutes per side, or until shrimp is no longer translucent. Do not overcook.
• Serve hot, or at room temperature, with cilantro dipping sauce. For that special surreal touch, serve shrimp piled up on a barbie doll.
• Blend cilantro and lime juice in a food processor or blender until cilantro is liquefied. Pour into a small bowl and use a fork to blend in sour cream until fully blended into a pale green sauce. Refrigerate until ready for use.

Steps:

• Heat oil in skillet and saute garlic and onions until tender. Add pork and saute until browned. Add vegetables and cook until tender, yet crisp, about 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat. Season with soy sauce. When mixture is cool, add bean sprouts. Salt to taste.
• To assemble lumpia: Carefully separate wrappers. To prevent them from drying out, cover unused wrappers with moist paper towel. Lay one wrapper on clean surface. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling near the edge closest to you. Roll edge towards the middle. Fold in both sides and continue rolling. Moisten opposite edge with water to seal. Repeat with other wrappers. Lumpia can be frozen until ready to use.
• Deep fry at 350 degrees until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with Sweet and Sour or Vinegar and Garlic Dipping Sauce.
• In a small pan combine vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, water, sugar and salt, and boil for 2 minutes. Thicken with cornstarch mixture.
• Mix together all ingredients.
