Directions
Combine ground pork, onion, garlic, carrots, green onions, egg, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well.
Lay out a lumpia wrapper, spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture onto the wrapper, and neatly roll it up. Seal the edge with a little water. Continue until all mix is used up. Remember that practice makes perfect with rolling – don’t be disheartened if the first few aren’t perfect.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Gently place around 5 lumpia pieces into the oil to fry. Depending on the strength of your stove and the type of pan, this could take about 3 minutes each side. Tip: don’t overcrowd the pan as this can drop the temperature of your oil and lead to soggier lumpia.
Once the lumpia are golden brown and crispy, remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve warm with sweet chili sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
