Lumpia
Ingredients:
1 pound ground pork
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium carrot, grated
1/2 cup green beans, finely chopped
1/2 cup cabbage, finely chopped
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Lumpia wrappers (spring roll wrappers)
Vegetable oil, for frying
Sweet chili sauce, for dipping (optional)
Instructions:
In a large skillet or frying pan, cook the ground pork over medium heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked pork. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the onion is softened and translucent.
Stir in the grated carrot, chopped green beans, and chopped cabbage. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
Add the soy sauce, fish sauce, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for another minute. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool slightly.
To assemble the lumpia, place a lumpia wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the bottom third of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the left and right corners. Roll the lumpia away from you, tucking in the sides as you go, until you reach the top corner of the wrapper. Dab a little water on the top corner to seal the lumpia.
Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the lumpia in batches and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried lumpia from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with sweet chili sauce for dipping, if desired.
Enjoy your delicious homemade Lumpia!
