Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g ground pork
- 1 medium carrot, finely grated
- 150 g cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 small onion, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
- 25 pieces lumpia wrappers
- 500 ml vegetable oil for frying
- 1 batch egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, grated carrot, shredded cabbage, minced onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, black pepper, and beaten egg. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Prepare a clean, flat surface for assembly and separate the lumpia wrappers. Cover the wrappers with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
To assemble the lumpia, lay one lumpia wrapper on the surface with a pointed edge facing you (like a diamond shape). Place about 1-2 tablespoons of filling across the bottom third of the wrapper, leaving space at the edge.
Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides to envelope the filling. Roll the wrapper tightly toward the top. Brush the top edge with egg wash to seal the roll. Repeat until all the filling is used.
Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium heat. Test the oil by inserting the edge of a lumpia—if it sizzles, the oil is ready.
Fry the lumpia in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the lumpia are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried lumpia and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve hot with sweet chili sauce, vinegar with garlic, or your choice of dipping sauce. Enjoy!
