Ingredients
- 500 grams ground pork
- 1 large carrot
- 100 grams green beans
- 100 grams green cabbage
- 4 stalks spring onions
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 25 pieces lumpia wrappers
- 500 milliliters cooking oil
Directions
Step 1
1. Begin by preparing the vegetables. Peel and grate the carrot. Trim the ends of the green beans and slice them thinly. Finely shred the green cabbage. Chop the spring onions. Mince the garlic cloves.
Step 2
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork with the grated carrot, sliced green beans, shredded cabbage, chopped spring onions, and minced garlic.
Step 3
3. Crack the egg into the mixture and add the soy sauce, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Step 4
4. To assemble the lumpia, lay a lumpia wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing towards you. Place about a tablespoon of the meat and vegetable mixture on the lower third of the wrapper, spreading it out in a small log shape while leaving room at the edges.
Step 5
5. Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edge with a dab of water or a beaten egg. Repeat this process for all wrappers and filling.
Step 6
6. Before frying, prepare your cooking space by lining a plate with paper towels to drain excess oil from fried lumpia.
Step 7
7. In a large frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough by testing with a small piece of wrapper; it should sizzle immediately.
Step 8
8. Carefully add lumpia into the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
9. Once cooked, remove the lumpia from the oil and place them on the plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Step 10
10. Serve the lumpia warm as an appetizer or alongside your favorite dipping sauce for a complete meal experience.
