Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 1 medium, grated Carrot
- 1 cup, finely shredded Cabbage
- 1 medium, finely diced Onion
- 4 cloves, minced Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 large, beaten Egg
- 25 sheets Spring roll wrappers
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 cups (for frying) Cooking oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, grated carrot, shredded cabbage, diced onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, and ground black pepper.
Add the beaten egg to the mixture and mix thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should be evenly distributed.
Lay one spring roll wrapper flat on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you, creating a diamond shape.
Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the filling mixture onto the wrapper, about 2 inches from the corner closest to you.
Fold the corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides tight around the filling, and roll tightly toward the far corner.
Dip your finger into the water and dab it along the edges of the wrapper to seal the lumpia tightly. Repeat this process until all the filling is used.
In a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully lower the lumpia into the hot oil, a few pieces at a time, and fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the lumpia from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the lumpia hot with sweet chili sauce or vinegar dipping sauce.
