Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 medium carrot, finely grated
- 3 green onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 egg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 20 lumpia wrappers
- 3 cups oil for frying
- 0.5 cup white vinegar
- 0.5 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, grated carrot, chopped green onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, egg, salt, and ground black pepper.
Mix the filling thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until well combined.
Lay a lumpia wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the filling near one corner of the wrapper. Shape the filling into a thin, horizontal log.
Fold the corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to enclose. Dab the end with a little water to seal. Repeat for the remaining filling and wrappers.
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the lumpia in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes per batch.
Remove the cooked lumpia and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
To make the sweet sour sauce, combine white vinegar, sugar, ketchup, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Add water and whisk until the cornstarch is dissolved.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, about 3-5 minutes.
Serve the lumpia warm with the sweet sour sauce on the side for dipping.
