Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground lean pork
- 1 large carrot, grated
- 100 grams green beans, finely chopped
- 100 grams cabbage, shredded
- 3 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium white onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (low sodium)
- 25 pieces spring roll wrappers
- 1 cup light vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lean pork, grated carrot, chopped green beans, shredded cabbage, minced garlic, and chopped onion.
Add the black pepper, low sodium oyster sauce, and one large egg to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Prepare a clean, dry working surface and place one spring roll wrapper with a corner towards you, like a diamond shape.
Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the pork mixture onto the wrapper, close to the corner nearest you.
Fold the corner over the filling, then fold the two side corners inward and roll tightly until you reach the top corner.
Seal the edge with a dab of water and repeat the process with the remaining mixture and wrappers.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Working in batches, fry the lumpia for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy all over.
Transfer cooked lumpia to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot, optionally with a low-sodium dipping sauce of your choice.
