The ingredients needed to make Lumpia Family Style:

1. Make ready Filling basic:
2. Get 1 lb ground meat (beef, pork or chicken)
3. Prepare 1 cup julienne green beans
4. Take 1 cup onion (chopped fine)
5. Prepare 1 cup carrot (chopped fine or shredded) or 1 cup water chestnuts
6. Get 1 teaspoon powdered garlic
7. Make ready 1/2 teaspoon salt
8. Prepare 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
9. Get Other:
10. Take 1 lb wrapper (8"x 8") Menlo is best. Don't rip any brand
11. Take 1 egg (beaten for sealing wrapper)
12. Make ready 16 oz oil (vegetable, canola or peanut)
13. Get Optional sauce (i.e. sweet chili sauce or Sriracha)

Instructions to make Lumpia Family Style:

1. Prepare onion, carrots, etc by chopping fine - thin and small. Try to chop all the same size to cook evenly) In a large bowl mix the filling ingredients. If you want a stronger garlic flavor use minced instead of powdered).
2. This is a basic mix. Feel free to experiment by adding other things you think may blend well. If you don't like it don't include it in the next batch.
3. Spread a wrapper, flat on a cutting board. Make a line of filling along one edge of the filling. If you have a forcing bag with a 1/2 inch plain tip, you'll save a lot of time. Otherwise grab a handful of the mix and form it into approx 1/2 inch tube shape 8" long (same as wrapper).
4. Roll the wrapper tightly around the filling. Stop about an inch short of the end and brush the egg wash along the length of the exposed wrapper remainder. The eggwash will keep the wrapper from coming apart. Then complete the roll.
5. Cut the tube wrapper in thirds. The ends will have filler exposed which purists may sneer at but that's part of what takes gobs of time which this method eliminates.
6. At this point you can cover and wait until you need to cook it or proceed directly with cooking. If you have a limited time to cook do the above the night before.
7. In a medium frying pan, heat oil to approx 375 degrees. Test the oil by dipping a few in and letting them golden. The first few in the oil will help judge if the oil is too hot or cool. Cook the rolled wrappers until the outside is golden brown. There is a myth that the wrapper needs to float to prove it's done. That may be true for bigger lumpia, but not the small lumpia.
8. One final step before serving, let the cooked lumpia rest for about 10 minutes. This will let the meat relax and juices mingle and reduce burned fingers and tongues. Enjoy. I'd say something about leftovers but this is rarely a concern.

Use Food to Elevate Your Mood

Many of us think that comfort foods are terrible for us and that we should keep away from them. Often, if your comfort food is a high sugar food or another junk food, this holds true. Otherwise, comfort foods may be super nourishing and good for you. There are some foods that, when you eat them, may improve your mood. If you seem to feel a little bit down and you’re in need of a happiness pick me up, try a few of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, are great for helping you combat depression. Just make sure that you do not toss the yolk. The egg yolk is the most crucial part of the egg in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, especially the egg yolks, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can be terrific for elevating your mood. This is because they help improve the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that control your mood. Consume an egg and be happy!

Make a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etcetera are all wonderful for improving your mood. This is possible as these foods have a bunch of magnesium which promotes serotonin production. Serotonin is called the “feel good” chemical substance and it tells your brain how you should be feeling day in and day out. The more of it in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Not just that, nuts, particularly, are a great protein source.

If you wish to beat depression, try consuming some cold water fish. Tuna, trout, mackerel, herring and wild salmon are all high in omega-3s and DHA. These are two substances that increase the quality and function of the gray matter in your brain. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you fight back depression.

Some grains are truly great for fighting off bad moods. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all excellent for helping you feel better. These grains fill you up better and that can help improve your moods as well. Feeling starved can be a real downer! These grains can help your mood elevate as it’s not at all hard for your body to digest them. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps kick start a rise in your blood glucose which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.

Your mood could really be helped by green tea. You were just anticipating to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea is found to be chock-full of an amino acid known as L-theanine. Research has discovered that this amino acid promotes the production of brain waves. This helps sharpen your mental energy while simultaneously making the rest of your body more relaxed. You likely already knew it is not difficult to be healthy when you drink green tea. Now you know it can help improve your mood too!

So you see, you don’t need junk food or foods that are bad for you just so to feel better! Try some of these suggestions instead.
