Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground pork or beef
  • 1 cup finely chopped carrots
  • 1 cup finely chopped cabbage
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Assembly and Cooking Ingredients

  • Spring roll wrappers (about 20 wrappers)
  • Vegetable oil for frying (enough for deep frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Finely chop the carrots, cabbage, onions, and garlic. In a large pan over medium heat, sauté the onions and garlic until fragrant. Add ground pork or beef and cook until browned. Then add the carrots and cabbage. Season with soy sauce, salt, and pepper, and cook until the vegetables are tender but not soggy. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
  2. Assemble the Lumpia: Lay a spring roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon about two tablespoons of the filling near one corner of the wrapper. Roll tightly but gently around the filling, folding in the sides to enclose the mixture completely. Moisten the edge of the wrapper with water to seal it securely. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  3. Fry to Perfection: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Fry the rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Plate your crispy Filipino Lumpia with your favorite dipping sauce such as sweet chili sauce, vinegar with garlic, or a classic soy sauce dip. Serve hot for the best crunch and flavor!

Notes

  • Use fresh wrappers to ensure easier rolling and better texture.
  • Don’t overfill the wrappers to avoid tearing or leaking during frying.
  • Maintain oil temperature at 350°F (175°C) for perfect crispiness without excessive oil absorption.
  • Drain fried Lumpia well on paper towels or a wire rack to keep them crispy longer.
  • Chop vegetables and meat finely for even cooking and better texture.
