In June, we asked people to submit their best recipes for our Global BC Favourite Family Recipe Contest. From over 600 entries, we’ve narrowed it down to four finalists. Each finalist made their dish at home with Chef Wayne Sych of Joe Fortes Seafood and Chophouse via Zoom.

Here is Deborah’s Shanghai Lumpia!
