Ingredients

• 500 grams ground pork
• 1 medium, grated carrot
• 100 grams, finely chopped green beans
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 25 sheets lumpia wrappers
• 500 ml, for frying vegetable oil
• 1 beaten, for sealing wrappers egg

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, grated carrot, chopped green beans, chopped onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, black pepper, and salt.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well incorporated. Use a spoon or your hands to ensure even distribution of the seasoning and vegetables.

Step 3

Separate the lumpia wrappers and cover them with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out while assembling.

Step 4

Place one wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing towards you (diamond orientation).

Step 5

Spoon about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the filling onto the bottom third of the wrapper. Shape the filling into a thin log, leaving enough space at the edge for wrapping.

Step 6

Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper tightly over the filling, then fold in both side corners to seal the edges.

Step 7

Continue rolling the lumpia away from you, creating a tight spring roll. Brush the top corner with a small amount of beaten egg to seal the lumpia closed.

Step 8

Repeat the process until all the filling has been used and the lumpias are assembled.

Step 9

In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. The oil should be about 2 inches deep for frying.

Step 10

Once the oil is hot (around 180°C or 350°F), carefully add 3-4 lumpias at a time to avoid overcrowding.

Step 11

Fry the lumpias until golden brown and crisp on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Turn them occasionally for even cooking.

Step 12

Transfer the cooked lumpias to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 13

Serve the lumpias hot with a side of sweet chili sauce or your preferred dipping sauce.
