Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground pork or beef
- 1 medium carrot, finely chopped
- 1 medium small onion, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cabbage, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup green beans, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 20 pieces lumpia wrappers
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil for frying
- 1 large egg, beaten
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together the ground pork or beef, chopped carrot, minced onion, minced garlic, chopped cabbage, chopped green beans, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Lay out a lumpia wrapper on a clean flat surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling near the bottom of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up the wrapper tightly towards the top. Moisten the top corner with a little of the beaten egg to seal the lumpia.
Repeat the rolling process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough when a small piece of lumpia dough dropped in sizzles and floats to the surface.
Carefully fry the lumpia in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes per batch. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Once cooked, remove the lumpia and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
