Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium, julienned carrots
- 2 cups, shredded cabbage
- 1 cup, thinly sliced green beans
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 1 small, diced onion
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 25 sheets lumpia wrappers
- 2 cups (for frying) vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup (for sealing wrappers) water
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and diced onions, and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the julienned carrots, shredded cabbage, green beans, and bean sprouts. Cook while stirring frequently for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Season the vegetable mixture with soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Remove the vegetable mixture from the heat and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.
Prepare the lumpia wrappers on a clean, flat surface. Place 2 tablespoons of the vegetable filling near the bottom of each wrapper.
Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to form a cylindrical shape. Seal the edge with a small dab of water.
Repeat the wrapping process until all the vegetable filling is used up.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place a few lumpia rolls in the hot oil and fry in batches, turning occasionally, for about 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the lumpia from the pan and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve warm with sweet chili sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
