Here’s a variation of Lumpia or Filipino Spring Rolls you might not know about. DYNAMITE LUMPIA is a popular street food in the Philippines. Traditionally made with long green chilis (“siling haba”) and stuffed with cheese and ground pork, wrapped in lumpia or spring roll wrapper, then deep fried. My version has large jalapenos, cream cheese, and mozarella cheese.

Ingredients (9)

Cream cheese(6 oz, softened)
Mozzarella cheese(1 cup, shredded)
Garlic powder(1 tsp)
Jalapeños(10 large, whole fresh)
Spring Roll wrapper or Lumpia wrapper(10 pieces)
Water(2 Tbsp)
mixed with 1 tsp cornstarch to seal
Cornstarch(1 tsp)
mixed with 2 tbsp water to seal
Vegetable oil
for frying
Sweet chili sauce
for serving

Instructions

Slice jalapeño (10 large) in half lengthwise.
Scoop out the seeds and membrane with a teaspoon and set aside. Wear rubber or plastic gloves to protect your hands.
In a bowl, combine cream cheese (6 oz), mozarella cheese (1 cup), and garlic powder (1 tsp). Mix.
Lay a Lumpia wrapper or spring roll wrapper (10 pieces) on a flat surface in a diamond shape.
Wrap the stuffed Jalapeño (10 large) exposing the stem. (Watch video)
Roll tightly and seal with water and cornstarch mixture.
Heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350 °F.
Fry in batches until golden brown for 2-3 minutes, turning them over once.
Drain on paper towel.
Allow to completely cool before eating.
Serve with sweet chili sauce and enjoy!

Notes

Let it cool completely before eating, or else it will burn your mouth.
You can also stuff it with ground meat and other types of cheeses.
You can use as much or as less cheese mixture as you want.
Try adding shredded immitation crab meat or cooked seasoned ground beef to the cheese mixture, too.
Again, allow to cool before eating. They are really hot and the cheese can burn your mouth.
