How to make Lumpia Recipe
Cut tofu into 1/4-inch dice.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, scallions, and celery, and cook, stirring, until softened, about 6 minutes. Raise heat to medium-high. Add tofu and shrimp, and cook, stirring, until shrimp are pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl, and let cool.

Lay a wrapper on a clean work surface in a diamond shape, with one corner facing you. Arrange 2 tablespoons filling in a horizontal mound about 3 inches from the bottom corner of the wrapper. Fold bottom corner over filling, then fold in sides halfway. Starting at the bottom, roll up the wrapper to form a tight cylinder. Brush top corner with egg wash, and press to seal. Transfer to a prepared baking sheet, Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat oil over medium-high heat until it registers 375 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Working in batches of 3 or 4, add spring rolls, seam side down, and fry, turning often, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.
