Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground pork
• 1 medium, grated Carrot
• 2 cups, finely shredded Cabbage
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 small, finely chopped Onion
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 25 pieces Lumpia wrappers
• 3 cups, for frying Vegetable oil
• 1 large, beaten (for sealing wrappers) Egg

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, grated carrot, shredded cabbage, minced garlic, chopped onion, soy sauce, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 2

Separate the lumpia wrappers and lay one wrapper flat on a clean surface. Keep the others covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.

Step 3

Place about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture onto the lower third of the wrapper. Shape the filling into a thin log, leaving space around the edges.

Step 4

Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll the wrapper tightly to form a cylinder. Seal the edge by brushing it lightly with the beaten egg. Repeat this process for the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 5

In a deep frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). To test, drop a small piece of wrapper into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.

Step 6

Carefully place 4-5 lumpia into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the lumpia from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining lumpia. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or spiced vinegar.
