Peel and finely grate the carrot. Finely chop the celery stalks and green onions. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground chicken, grated carrot, chopped celery, chopped green onions, and minced garlic.
Beat the egg lightly and add it to the mixture. Incorporate the low sodium soy sauce, black pepper, and freshly grated ginger.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Lay a single lumpia wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing towards you, forming a diamond shape.
Place about a tablespoon of the filling mixture near the bottom corner of the wrapper, shaping it into a thin log.
Roll the bottom corner over the filling once, then fold in the two side corners and roll tightly towards the top corner.
Seal the top corner with a dab of water or beaten egg. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat canola oil in a large frying pan or deep skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the lumpia in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 3-5 minutes per batch.
Remove the cooked lumpia from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve immediately with a low sodium dipping sauce of your choice.
