INGREDIENTS:

  • Lumpia wrapper

  • ½ kilo Ground pork

  • 2 pieces Onion (minced)

  • 6 cloves Garlic (minced)

  • 1 piece Carrot (minced)

  • 1 piece Cabbage (minced)

  • 1 teaspoon Salt

  • 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper

  • 1 piece Egg

  • 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce

  • 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional)

  • Mozzarella and parmesan cheese (optional)


DIRECTIONS:

Step 1: Prepare the Wrappers

  • Gently separate each lumpia wrapper to prevent sticking and set aside.


Step 2: Prepare the Ingredients

  • Mince the garlic, onion, carrot, and cabbage. Set these aside in separate bowls.


Step 3: Combine Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, combine ground pork, onion, garlic, carrot, cabbage, salt, black pepper, egg, and sesame oil, oyster sauce.

  • Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.


Step 4: Taste Test

  • Fry a small amount of the mixture to check for seasoning. Adjust salt and pepper if needed.


Step 5: Assemble the Lumpia

  • Transfer the filling into a piping bag and cut the end to your preferred size.

  • Pipe an appropriate amount of filling onto the lumpia wrapper, positioning it near one corner.

  • Fold both sides of the wrapper inward.

  • Brush the edge of the wrapper with a beaten egg or water mixture to seal.

  • Roll tightly until fully wrapped. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.


Step 6: Fry the Lumpia

  • Heat oil in a deep pot over medium heat.

  • Once the oil is hot, carefully add the lumpia in batches.

  • Deep fry for 7-10 minutes or until they float and turn golden brown.


Step 6: Drain and Serve

  • Remove the lumpia from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  • Cut each lumpia in half or serve whole with your favorite dipping sauce.


TIPS:

  • Filling Variations: You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or green beans for added texture and flavor.

  • Freezing Option: Uncooked lumpia can be frozen. Lay them flat on a tray, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Fry directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

  • Dipping Sauce: Serve with sweet chili sauce, vinegar with minced garlic, or a soy sauce and calamansi mixture.


Serve & Enjoy! 💖
