Deep Fried Spring Rolls (Lumpiang Prito) - AFF Philippines

These pipping hot spring rolls are favoured as a mirienda, or snack in the Philippines.  They are incredibly addictive and one is never enough. Chicken or prawns can be omitted if it is for a vegetarian version.

 These are very addictive, you just can't stop  at one  :p
 
 
 The filling mainly consist of  sweet potato, chicken, prawns and bean sprout. The sweet potato make it taste of natural sweetness and the bean sprout give it a extra crunch.
 

 The garlic vinegar dipping sauce goes so well with these spring rolls.
 
 
Natural sweetness from the sweet potatoes, french bean and the crunchy texture from the bean sprouts for the filling

 Layer the spring roll wrapper one corner facing you. Add in the filling a line.

Sam is spreading some corn starch mixture onto a corner of the spring roll wrapper to seal the end.

It is done!! Done by Sam!! Although it is not neatly wrapped by he took the effort to try. Isn't that sweet...

Sam help me to wrapper some of the spring rolls. Can you guess which one was done by Sam?? The top one or the bottom two..

All done!! It is really to deep-fried but i shallow fried it instead because i do not want to use up too much oil.The result is just as good and not oily at all.

 Shallow frying the spring rolls..
