Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground pork
- 2 pieces Carrots, julienned
- 150 grams Green beans, finely chopped
- 200 grams Cabbage, shredded
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
- 16 pieces Spring roll wrappers
- 0.25 cup Water
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced (for sauce)
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat.
Sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion until fragrant and translucent.
Add the ground pork to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes, or until fully browned. Break up any clumps with a wooden spoon.
Stir in the julienned carrots, chopped green beans, and shredded cabbage. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Season the mixture with soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well, then remove the skillet from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly.
Separate the spring roll wrappers and lay one wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 2 heaping tablespoons of the filling near the bottom edge of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides snugly. Roll tightly to form a cylinder. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with a touch of vegetable oil. Cook each lumpia for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crisp. Remove from heat and set aside.
To prepare the sauce, combine 1/4 cup of water, brown sugar, cornstarch, and minced garlic in a saucepan. Stir until smooth.
Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat while whisking continuously. Cook until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Serve the Cebuano Lumpia warm, drizzled with the sweet garlic sauce or with the sauce on the side for dipping.
