Ingredients

• 2 medium, julienned carrot
• 2 cups, shredded green cabbage
• 1 cup, thinly sliced green beans
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 medium, chopped onion
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups, for frying vegetable oil
• 20 pieces lumpia wrappers
• 1 large, beaten (for sealing) egg

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, add a dash of vegetable oil and sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion until the onion becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 2

Add the julienned carrots, sliced green beans, shredded cabbage, and bean sprouts. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are slightly tender yet still crispy.

Step 3

Season the vegetables with soy sauce, sesame oil, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well to combine all flavors. Once mixed, remove from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly.

Step 4

Take one lumpia wrapper and lay it flat on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable filling on one end of the wrapper.

Step 5

Begin to roll the wrapper tightly around the filling, folding the sides in as you go to enclose the filling completely. Brush the beaten egg along the edge of the wrapper to seal the lumpia.

Step 6

Repeat the rolling process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 7

In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot enough (around 350°F or 175°C), carefully slide in the lumpia, seam side down.

Step 8

Fry the lumpia in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve the Vegetarian Classic Filipino Lumpia with sweet chili sauce or your choice of dipping sauce.
