Ingredients

• 250 grams vegetarian chicken substitute
• 1 medium carrot
• 0.5 small head cabbage
• 100 grams green beans
• 1 medium onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 15 pieces lumpia wrappers
• 500 milliliters vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the vegetarian chicken substitute into small pieces and set aside.

Step 2

Peel and grate the carrot. Thinly slice the cabbage and green beans. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 3

In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the vegetarian chicken substitute, carrot, cabbage, and green beans to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 5

Season the mixture with soy sauce, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well and cook for another 3 minutes.

Step 6

Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.

Step 8

Separate one lumpia wrapper and place it on a flat surface with a corner pointing towards you, so it forms a diamond shape.

Step 9

Spoon 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture onto the lower third of the wrapper, leaving space on the sides.

Step 10

Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold the sides inward to enclose the filling.

Step 11

Continue rolling the lumpia tightly towards the top corner. Dab a little cornstarch slurry on the top corner to seal the edge.

Step 12

Repeat the rolling process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 13

In a deep pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

Step 14

Carefully fry the lumpia in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

Step 15

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Step 16

Serve the Vegetarian Chicken Lumpia hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
