Directions:
-
In a large bowl combine the pork, carrot, onion, water chestnut, bamboo shoots, garlic, ginger, soy sauce and pepper.

Stir mixture until thoroughly combined-at this point you can cover and stick in the fridge over night.

I lay out about 10 wrappers at a time, roll the meat mixture into cigar shapes about finger thickness-be reasonable-and the length of the wrapper.

Roll, brush ends with beaten egg and finish the roll to seal.

Place seam side down on a cookie sheet and repeat until done.
-
Bake in a preheated 450 degree oven, turning once for around 20 minutes.
-
They should be cooked through and the wrappers are golden brown.
-
Serve hot.

You can make these ahead of time and keep cooked lumpia in the fridge for up to 3 days, or frozen up to 4 weeks.

To reheat (thaw if frozen) bake on baking sheet in a 450 oven for 10 minutes-turn rolls once.
