Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) ground pork
  • 1 cup finely shredded carrots
  • 1 cup finely chopped green beans or snow peas
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for sautéing)
  • 3040 lumpia wrappers (spring roll wrappers)
  • Vegetable oil for deep frying (enough to submerge rolls)
  • Optional dipping sauce: sweet chili sauce or vinegar with crushed garlic and chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onion, sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add ground pork, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add shredded carrots and chopped green beans. Cook for 3-4 minutes until veggies are slightly tender but still crisp.
  4. Season with soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), ground black pepper, and sugar. Mix well and remove from heat. Let filling cool completely.
  5. Carefully separate lumpia wrappers and cover with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
  6. Lay one wrapper on a flat surface in a diamond shape with one corner pointing towards you.
  7. Place about 2 tablespoons of cooled filling near the corner closest to you.
  8. Fold the corner over the filling, then fold left and right corners towards the center like an envelope.
  9. Roll tightly towards the far corner, sealing the edge with a dab of water or beaten egg.
  10. Repeat until all filling is used, avoiding overstuffing.
  11. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok to 350°F (175°C). Test oil by dipping a small piece of wrapper; it should bubble immediately.
  12. Fry 5-6 lumpia rolls at a time, turning occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  13. Remove lumpia with tongs or slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  14. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Let the filling cool completely before wrapping to prevent soggy wrappers. Maintain oil temperature at 350°F (175°C) for crispy lumpia. Fry in small batches to keep oil temperature steady. Drain lumpia on paper towels after frying to remove excess oil. For a healthier option, bake lumpia at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway.
