Ingredients

• 30 pieces Lumpia (spring roll) wrappers
• 1 pound Ground pork
• 1 pound Ground chicken
• 1 cup Shredded carrots
• 2 cups Shredded green cabbage
• 4 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 cup Chopped green onions
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 3 cups Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Sweet chili sauce (for dipping)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the filling ingredients by combining the ground pork, ground chicken, shredded carrots, shredded cabbage, minced garlic, and chopped green onions in a large bowl.

Step 2

Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, and black pepper to the meat and vegetable mixture. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.

Step 3

Separate the Lumpia wrappers gently, and cover them with a damp kitchen towel to keep them from drying out.

Step 4

Provide a small dish of beaten egg near the work area to use as the adhesive for sealing the Lumpia.

Step 5

Set up a ‘build-your-own’ Lumpia station by placing the bowl of filling, wrappers, and beaten egg on a clean counter or table.

Step 6

To assemble, take one wrapper and place it on a flat surface with one corner facing you (like a diamond). Add 2-3 tablespoons of the filling mixture across the middle of the wrapper.

Step 7

Fold the corner closest to you over the filling, then fold in the two side corners to envelope the filling. Roll the Lumpia tightly towards the last corner, sealing it with a small dab of beaten egg to ensure it stays closed. Repeat for all remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 8

In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Test the oil by placing a small piece of Lumpia wrapper in it; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.

Step 9

Carefully fry the Lumpia in small batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Cook each batch for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and fully crisp.

Step 10

Remove the Lumpia using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step 11

Serve the freshly fried Lumpia hot alongside sweet chili dipping sauce, and enjoy!
