Dynamite Lumpia

🧂 Ingredients

• 25 Fresh Jalapeños
• 25 Lumpia or Spring Roll Wrappers
• 1 Lb Ground Pork
• 8 Oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese Block
• 1 tablespoon Minced Garlic
• 2 teaspoon Minced Dried Onion
• 1 teaspoon Celery Salt
• 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
• ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
• ½ teaspoon Corn Starch
• ¼ teaspoon Accent
• 1 teaspoon Fish Sauce
• 1 teaspoon Soy Sauce

Instructions

• 1 Combine the ground pork, minced garlic, celery salt, dried minced onion, kosher
  salt, black pepper, fish sauce, soy sauce, accent, and cornstarch in a glass
  mixing bowl.
• 2 Stir this mixture thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly combined.
• 3 Set the mixture aside.
• 4 Slice the cheddar cheese into sticks and set aside.
• 5 Make a small verticle slice toward the top of the jalapeño, horizontally near
  the bottom, and a horizontal slice down the center. Essentially, you are
  creating two doors to open the jalapeños.
• 6 Using a small spoon, remove the insides of the jalapeños. The more seeds and
  ribbing you leave in the jalapeño, the spicier they will be.
• 7 Place a cheese stick in each jalapeño followed by about two teaspoons of pork
  mixture.
• 8 Press the mixture into the jalapeños. It's okay if they do not completely close.
• 9 Lay out one Spring Roll/Lumpia wrapper in a diamond shape.
• 10 Fold the top point down about a quarter to the middle.
• 11 Place a stuffed jalapeño with the stem lying above the top fold.
• 12 Fold up the bottom fold about a quarter to the middle, and then pull the bottom
  half of the wrapper over the top like a blanket.
• 13 Now, take either the left or right corner, fold it over to the other side, and
  then roll the jalapeño up.
• 14 Repeat this process on all stuffed jalapeños to wrap up the Dynamite Lumpia.
• 15 Heat about 2 inches of vegetable, canola, or peanut oil in a cast iron skillet
  to 350°f to 370°f.
• 16 Working in batches, fry each Dynamite Lumpia. Once they are golden brown on one
  side, flip them over and fry until golden brown on the other. About 4-5 minutes
  on each side.
• 17 Remove the Lumpia to a cooling rack over a paper towel-covered tray for easy
  cleanup. Allow them to cool before serving, as the inside will be very hot.
• 18 Serve immediately or check out Expert Tips, FAQs, or the Recipe Notes for
  storage, reheating, etc.
