Wrapping lumpia is definitely both an art and a science. The science part is as follows.
First of all, it’s usually very tricky to remove the lumpia wrappers from the frozen stack they come in. Madeline did we (us?) noobs a favor by buying wrappers individually wrapped in plastic. Environment, 0: Helen and Dawn: 1.
Next, place some filling in the center of a lumpia wrapper, about 3/4 of the way from the bottom edge.
Fold the upper edge over.
Crease the edges in and start to roll.
Dab some egg replacer mixed with water on the edges and press to seal.
Place lumpia seal side down on a flat surface and repeat. And repeat. And repeat. And repeat…
The art part is making sure that you roll up your lumpia in perfect, plump, cylindrical little cigars, not floppy, flaccid, flat, uhhh, little cigars Then you fry them up. Try not to burn them like this person did
