Dynamite Chili Lumpia Recipe

Dynamite Lumpia, also known "Dynamite Cheese Sticks," is a popular Filipino appetizer or snack. It is made of long green chili peppers stuffed with a mixture of ground pork, cheese, onions, carrots, and herbs. The name "Dynamite" reflects the spicy nature of this dish due to the use of green chilies, which can pack a considerable amount of heat.

INGREDIENTS:
15 to 20 pieces long green chilies
300 grams ground pork
1 medium onion (chopped)
3 cloves garlic
1 small carrot (minced)
1 teaspoon soy sauce
salt and pepper to taste
kinchay
cheese strips
lumpia wrappers
oil for frying

For sealing mixture
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoon water

Directions:

Wash and prepare the long green chilies. Make a long slit from top to bottom to open the chilies. Remove the seeds and the white pith by using a spoon. Be careful not to accidentally slice the stem. Then, soak them in water for minimum 15 minutes to reduce spiciness (optional).
Prepare the ground pork. Add them to a heated pan and cook until they change color. Then, add the chopped onions and saute for a whole minute. Season with some salt and pepper. You may also use soy sauce. Add the minced carrots and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Then, turn the heat off. You may add some freshly chopped kinchay. Set the mixture aside and let it cool a bit.
Prepare the cheese and slice them into long thick strips.
On a small bowl, combine water and cornstarch to make a mixture to seal the wrappers for later. Make sure that there is no lumps. This will be used as sealer for the wrapper. You may also use egg wash or just water.
Gently open the green chilies and add some of the pork fillings and strips of cheese.
Separate the lumpia wrappers from one another. Wrap each stuffed chili just like a regular lumpia. Use the cornstarch mixture to seal the ends of the wrapper. Do these steps with the rest of the ingredients.
Heat a lot of oil in a pan using medium heat. Fry the dynamites for a few minutes. Flip to cook the other side. Once all sides are golden brown and crispy, transfer them to a paper towel or strainer to drain excess oil. Do these with the rest of the dynamites.
To make the dipping sauce, combine equal parts of mayonnaise and ketchup or simply sweet chili sauce in a small bowl.
Enjoy the dynamite lumpia with the dipping sauce on the side. Eat immediately while crispy! Yum!
