Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground pork
- 1 large (shredded) carrot
- 1 cup (finely shredded) green cabbage
- 1 medium (finely chopped) onion
- 4 cloves (minced) garlic
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 large egg
- 25 sheets spring roll wrappers
- 1 liter (for frying) vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup (for sealing wrapper edges) water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, shredded carrot, shredded cabbage, chopped onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Separate the spring roll wrappers and place them on a clean, dry surface. Cover unused wrappers with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
Take one wrapper and place it on the surface in a diamond orientation (pointed end facing you). Spoon about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the filling near the bottom corner of the wrapper, leaving space to fold.
Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, tucking it in snugly. Fold in both side corners to create an envelope shape, then tightly roll up the wrapper. Seal the top edge with a light dab of water.
Repeat the process with the remaining filling and wrappers, placing completed rolls on a tray. Ensure they do not touch to avoid sticking.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat (around 180°C or 350°F). To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of wrapper into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
Fry the lumpia in batches, ensuring they have enough room to cook evenly. Fry for 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip occasionally for even cooking.
Remove the lumpia from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with sweet chili sauce or your preferred dipping sauce. Enjoy!
