Ingredients

• 1 lb ground pork or beef
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup carrots, finely shredded
• 1/2 cup green beans, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 pack lumpia wrappers (spring roll wrappers)
• Vegetable oil for frying

Step-by-step Directions

1. Cook the Meat

Heat the tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the ground pork or beef, cooking until it’s fully browned and cooked through.

2. Add Aromatics and Vegetables

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan and sauté until they become fragrant, about 2 minutes. Follow with the shredded carrots and chopped green beans, mixing well.

3. Season the Filling

Stir in the soy sauce, sugar, black pepper, and salt into the pan. Let the mixture cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once done, remove from heat and allow the filling to cool.

4. Prepare the Wrappers

Lay out the lumpia wrappers on a clean, flat surface. Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the cooked filling near the edge of each wrapper.

5. Roll the Lumpia

Roll each wrapper tightly, folding in the sides to encase the filling securely.

6. Fry the Lumpia

Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer over medium heat. Fry the lumpia in batches until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Drain the cooked lumpia on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Servings and Preparation/Cooking Time

This recipe serves approximately 4-6 people. Preparation time is around 20 minutes, and cooking time is about 10 minutes.

Tips for Storage and Reheating

• Storage: Store leftover lumpia in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

• Reheating: Reheat cooked lumpia in an oven at 350°F until they are warmed through and crispy, usually about 10-15 minutes.
