Ingredients

• 500 grams ground pork
• 1 medium carrot, grated
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 stalks green onions, chopped
• 150 grams cabbage, finely shredded
• 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 20 rice paper wrappers
• 500 milliliters vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, grated carrot, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped green onions, and shredded cabbage.

Step 2

Add gluten-free soy sauce, salt, and ground black pepper to the mixture. Mix thoroughly until combined.

Step 3

Prepare a clean, damp cloth or paper towel and place it beside your work surface. You'll use this to moisten rice paper wrappers.

Step 4

Fill a large shallow plate with lukewarm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper in the water for about 10-15 seconds or until it softens. Remove and lay it flat on a clean cutting board or countertop.

Step 5

Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture onto the bottom third of the softened rice paper, and shape it into a small log (about 2-3 inches long).

Step 6

Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the filling, then fold the sides in. Roll it up tightly to enclose the filling completely. Set aside on a plate, seam side down. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.

Step 7

In a large skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1-2 inches deep for frying.

Step 8

Once the oil is hot (around 350°F or 175°C), carefully add a few lumpia at a time to the oil, seam side down. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 9

Remove the lumpia with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 10

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or vinegar with garlic and crushed pepper.
