Dynamite Lumpia

Time consuming to make-yes. Worth all the effort-absolutely! These dynamite lumpia are an excellent appetizer to make for large gatherings, since no one in their right mind would go through the trouble to make just a couple. Fingerling chilies get stuffed with ground pork, then wrapped in lumpia wrappers and fried. Serve them with your favorite sweet and sour sauce. Make sure to talk up how big of a pain in the ass these are to make to your guests. You will deserve the credit.
