Lumpiang Keso

Description
An all-time cheesy favorite, this savory, rich appetizer is made with only cheese and spring roll wrappers and cooked to red-hot perfection, as it simply keeps a crispy aroma with the cheese content. Italian seasoning rarely works for this, too.

Ingredients

 * 1 pound Velveeta or any cheese of choice
 * 1 can of mushrooms, optional
 * 6 chilis, cut into small pieces, optional
 * 12 spring roll/lumpia wrappers
 * 1 cup cooking oil

Instructions

 * 1) Cut cheese into thin, long strips with the chef's knife or the cheese knife. Freeze for about 15 to 20 minutes, or overnight.
 * 2) Separate wrappers into individual sheets. On a flat, working surface, lay a wrapper like a diamond. Place cheese on the middle of the wrapper. Include chilis or mushrooms if desired.
 * 3) Fold the bottom, pointed end of the wrapper over the filling. Fold side ends of the sheet inward and roll tightly into a log.
 * 4) Wet the pointed edge of the wrapper with a dab of water to completely seal. Repeat with the remaining cheese and wrappers.
 * 5) In a skillet over medium heat, heat about 1 inch deep with oil. Add spring rolls seam side down in batches, if necessary, and fry, turning once or twice, for about 1 to 2 minutes or until golden-brown and crisp.
 * 6) Remove from the skillet and drain on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Serve hot and plain with the sweet and sour sauce, if desired, or with other side dishes.
