Ingredients

  • 50 Pieces Lumpia Wrappers
  • 3 Cups vegetable, canola, or olive oil

Filling Ingredients

  • lbs ground pork
  • 3 Pieces onion minced
  • 2 Pieces carrots minced
  • Teaspoons garlic powder
  • ½ Cup parsley chopped
  • Teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 Eggs

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine ground pork, onion, carrots, garlic powder, parsley, salt, sesame oil, and eggs. Mix them well.
  • Scoop around 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons of well-mixed filling and place half a handful of it over a lumpia wrapper. Spread the filling in a parallel movement, and then fold both sides of the thin crepe.
  • Fold the wrapper into two from bottom to top with the filling mixture in the middle. Roll-up until completely wrapped. Brush water or egg mixture on the crepe’s top end to make sure you will seal it tightly. Perform the same step until all mixture is consumed.
  • Heat oil in a pan, then fry lumpia in medium heat until it floats and turns golden brown.
  • Please put it on a plate with a paper towel to absorb the excess oil when already cooked.
  • Serve while hot. Share and enjoy!
