For the wrapper: Cut the square lumpia wrappers down the middle to make 2 rectangle wrappers out of one square wrapper. Gently pull apart each wrapper and stack together, cover with a towel or in a freezer bag so the wrappers won’t dry out.
3
For the roll: On your workspace, place one rectangle wrapper horizontally (with the long edge facing you). Tablespoon in your filing in a line about ½ inch above the bottom edge. The next part is like rolling a cigarette. Lick your fingertips and begin rolling from the bottom to the top. Close the ends and seal with the beaten egg. Repeat for each wrapper.

For the storing: If you’d like to save the cooking for later, cover a tray of rolls with plastic wrap. It will take 2-3 hours to freeze in the freezer.

For the cooking: In a deep fryer, heat oil to 350˚F and dip rolls in oil until brown on all sides. 3-5 minutes.
