Dyanamite Lumpia

Dynamite Lumpia is a version of the popular Filipino deep-fried egg rolls. This version is unique because it involves the use of stuffed long green chili. The idea is somewhat similar to chile relleno, except that the stuffed chili peppers are wrapped in lumpia wrapper and deep fried until golden brown and crispy.

I like to have my dynamite lumpia as an appetizer. This goes well with cold beverages. It can also be consumed as a main dish similar to other lumpia varieties. However, expect to consume more rice to balance the spiciness.
