Lumpia (Filipino Spring Rolls) 🥢🥟✨

Golden, crispy rolls filled with savory pork and vegetables—perfect for parties, snacks, or family meals.

Ingredients

For the Filling

• 1 lb ground pork (or ground chicken)
• 1 cup carrots, finely shredded
• 1 cup cabbage, finely shredded
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

For Wrapping & Frying

• 25–30 lumpia wrappers (or spring roll wrappers)
• 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Optional Dipping Sauce

• ¼ cup vinegar
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp sugar
• A pinch of pepper

Directions

1. Prep the Filling: In a large bowl, mix ground pork, carrots, cabbage, onion, garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Assemble the Lumpia: Place a wrapper on a flat surface, corner facing you (like a diamond). Add 1–2 tbsp of filling near the bottom. Fold the bottom over the filling, fold in the sides, then roll tightly. Seal the end with beaten egg.
3. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F / 175°C).
4. Fry the Lumpia: Fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4–5 minutes. Turn occasionally for even browning.
5. Drain & Serve: Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with dipping sauce.

Tips

• Extra crisp: Use thin lumpia wrappers for maximum crunch.
• Flavor boost: Add a splash of fish sauce or oyster sauce to the filling.
• Make-ahead: Assemble lumpia and freeze uncooked; fry straight from frozen when ready.
