Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups master seafood mixture (see seafood Shumai recipe)
1 package lumpia wrappers
1 egg with 2 ounces of water
1 lemon, juiced
1 lime, juiced
1/4 cup thin soy sauce
1/8 cup mint leaves, chiffonade
1 pound rock shrimp, diced
1 pound Chilean sea bass, diced
1 pound bay scallops, diced
1 egg
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Salt and white pepper

Steps:

Lay out a lumpia wrapper with corner facing you. Place a small mound of the seafood mixture at the bottom, moisten edges with egg wash, and roll bottom corner towards the middle. Roll very long and thin spring roll 'sticks.' Fold in both sides and continue rolling. Finish roll and let rest. Deep fry at 350 degrees F until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Mix together citrus juices, soy sauce and mint.
Slice spring rolls in half on the bias and place on a lined plate with mint sprigs. Serve with small bowl of dipping sauce.
In a food processor, add shrimp, bass, scallops, egg, ginger, and sesame oil. Pulse only a little bit to bring ingredients together. Transfer to a large bowl and fold in scallions and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
