Tuna Lumpia (Spring Rolls) Recipe

I cooked tuna lumpia for our lunch. This is one of my favorite recipes because it is easy to cook and easy on the pocket... Anyway, here it is:


Ingredients:

150 g. can of tuna flakes ( I use century tuna spicy. It is your choice if you want the plain or spicy)
1/2 tsp. of garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped finely
1 egg, lightly beaten
salt and pepper
cheese (ques-o or quickmelt)
12-15 pieces of lumpia wrapper
2 c. cooking oil

Optional: (you may add the following if you have extra budget
2 tbsp. of onion leaves, chopped finely
1/8 c. of finely grated carrots
1 potato, boiled and diced
2 tbsp. of raisins, soaked

Procedures:

1. Mix all the ingredients together, except for the wrappers and cheese.
2. Place one tbsp. of tuna filling at the wrapper. Put some cheese. Roll the wrapper towards the middle. When half-rolled, take the sides and fold them inward. Brush the edges with a little egg wash to seal completely. Then finish rolling away from you.
3. Heat wok. Pour in the cooking oil. When the oil starts to smoke, carefully lower the egg rolls one by one.
4.Cook only 4 to 5 pieces of rolls at a time. Roll them in oil to brown evenly. Remove once they turn golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

And the finish product:
