Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground pork
• 1 medium, grated Carrot
• 1 cup, finely shredded Cabbage
• 1 medium, finely diced Onion
• 4 cloves, minced Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 large, beaten Egg
• 25 sheets Spring roll wrappers
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 cups (for frying) Cooking oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, grated carrot, shredded cabbage, diced onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 2

Add the beaten egg to the mixture and mix thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should be evenly distributed.

Step 3

Lay one spring roll wrapper flat on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you, creating a diamond shape.

Step 4

Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the filling mixture onto the wrapper, about 2 inches from the corner closest to you.

Step 5

Fold the corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides tight around the filling, and roll tightly toward the far corner.

Step 6

Dip your finger into the water and dab it along the edges of the wrapper to seal the lumpia tightly. Repeat this process until all the filling is used.

Step 7

In a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 8

Carefully lower the lumpia into the hot oil, a few pieces at a time, and fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Use a slotted spoon to remove the lumpia from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the lumpia hot with sweet chili sauce or vinegar dipping sauce.
