HOW TO COOK PORK LUMPIANG SHANGHAI
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, carrots, parsley, onion, garlic, oyster sauce and salt. Add 2 eggs and a dash of black pepper. Mix thoroughly. Set aside then, separate the lumpia wrappers into individual sheets. In a small bowl, beat 1 egg.

Fold the bottom part of the wrapper and roll them over the filling. Fold the left and right side ends of the wrapper measuring to the ends of the mixture. Continue rolling it upwards creating around ¾ inch thick logs. Wet the top edge of the wrapper with egg before rolling it through to seal it. Repeat procedure on wrapping the filling for the remaining mixture.
In medium fire, heat a deep pan and pour an ample amount of oil for deep frying. Once oil is hot, drop several pieces of shanghai rolls. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan so that the lumpia will have enough space to cook evenly. Occasionally stir and deep fry until golden brown.
