Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 large carrot, grated
- 2 pieces green onions, finely sliced
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 8 sheets coconut wraps
- 0.25 cup avocado oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, grated carrot, green onions, coconut aminos, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground black pepper, and the egg. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Lay out one coconut wrap on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the pork mixture near one end of the wrap, leaving a small border. Shape the filling into a log shape.
Roll the wrap tightly over the filling, folding in the sides as you go to secure the mixture inside. Continue rolling until you have a neat, tight roll. Repeat the process with the remaining wraps and filling.
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the lumpia in the skillet, seam side down.
Fry each lumpia for about 4-5 minutes on each side, turning them occasionally, until they are golden and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked lumpia to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the Paleo Lumpia Shanghai hot with your choice of dipping sauce, if desired.
