Ingredients

• 2 medium, julienned carrots
• 2 cups, shredded cabbage
• 1 cup, thinly sliced green beans
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 4 minced garlic cloves
• 1 small, diced onion
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 25 sheets lumpia wrappers
• 2 cups (for frying) vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup (for sealing wrappers) water

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and diced onions, and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the julienned carrots, shredded cabbage, green beans, and bean sprouts. Cook while stirring frequently for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 4

Season the vegetable mixture with soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 5

Remove the vegetable mixture from the heat and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.

Step 6

Prepare the lumpia wrappers on a clean, flat surface. Place 2 tablespoons of the vegetable filling near the bottom of each wrapper.

Step 7

Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to form a cylindrical shape. Seal the edge with a small dab of water.

Step 8

Repeat the wrapping process until all the vegetable filling is used up.

Step 9

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 10

Carefully place a few lumpia rolls in the hot oil and fry in batches, turning occasionally, for about 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Remove the lumpia from the pan and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 12

Serve warm with sweet chili sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
