Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (or meat of choice)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 25 lumpia wrappers
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Heat a pan over medium heat and cook ground meat with onion and garlic until browned. Drain excess grease.
- Add shredded carrots and soy sauce. Cook for 2 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Let filling cool slightly.
- Place 1 1/2 tablespoons of filling on a lumpia wrapper. Fold sides, roll tightly, and seal edge with water.
- Repeat until all wrappers are filled and rolled.
- Heat oil in a deep pan. Fry lumpia in batches until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with sweet chili sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Use ground chicken, turkey, or tofu for variations.
- Add green beans, sprouts, or water chestnuts for extra crunch.
- Freeze uncooked lumpia for later—fry directly from frozen.
- Bake at 400°F for 20–25 minutes as a healthier option.
- Use vinegar garlic dip as a traditional Filipino alternative to sweet chili sauce.
